We picked a very beautiful day to go to the zoo! The sun was shining but it was still a little chilly. Yesterday there was a monkey on the loose at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, and they had to evacuate the entire zoo, for one little monkey. We go to the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma, and let me tell you, I was chasing 3 or more little monkeys around and at a few momentsI wanted to evacuate. It was sure fun though. Cooper and Logan were able to run play, look at the animals, and have a picnic with Nick, William, Hailey, Taylor, and Wendy. That's right 7 kiddos 5 years old and under. The older boys were very well behaved and even had maps to direct us on what we were to see next. I also didn't bring my camera, I remembered everything else though. Thanks J. for taking all the pictures and sending them to me. It was kinda liberating not to take pictures for a change, I was able to run and play with the kids more.
This was Logan's first trip to the zoo, during the day, as we went to zoolights at night last month. He loved it. He didn't want to stay in the stroller so I hooked him up this his doggy backpack and let him explore on foot. He would stick his nose right up to the glass peering at the 'mamimals'. At one point I had three 2 year olds on leashes, it felt like they were walking me.
As always the aquarium is the highlight of our zoo trips. Here's a rare shot of ALL the boys together in the same spot. It wasn't very crowded in the aquarium, so we let them loose and let them wander, within sight of Mommy was the rule.
After our visit to the fishy's and the sharks, we sat and had a nice picnic lunch. Then it was back in the stroller for the little ones, the rest of the zoo was going to go faster, as nap time was approaching. Thanks D. for letting us the double stroller.
It was a fun day. We always have so much fun with our friends and look forward to our next zoo adventure together.
Here are a few of the animals we saw on our visit.

I am so glad the boys had so much fun at the zoo.
There's a zoo in Erie we want to go to, I need to borrow a kid so I can go and be a big kid! The photo of the leashes was hilarious. I haven't been to that zoo in quite awhile, looks like you had fun!
Okay, now I feel like it's time for a trip to the zoo...getting that itch. Maybe over Spring break?
Did you tack the pic
