ZOO Adventure!

Darrin's 33rd birthday continued...

We woke the kids up at around 7:30 am then loaded them up in the car still in their PJ's. Benny wasn't too sure about what was going on.
Kaylee was fully aware and so excited!
We got to the zoo with no traffic and the first thing we saw was this porcupine out of it's cage with it's zoo keeper.

It was a nice little learning experience about porcupine's.

Then we were off to the petting zoo. They had goats, sheep and other farm animals around to pet.

We also met up with our long lost neighbors at the zoo too! They braved the zoo with brand new and beautiful 4 week old baby Caris and their almost 2yr old son Asher! They sure made our trip very special!

It was Kaylee's idea to ride the Sky Safari much to our surprise! It was a little crazy getting on and off but that is what made it fun! She really liked it too!

We saw these huge turtles too

I love sleeping kiddo's! He looked so scrumptious!

After the zoo we headed to our "hotel home" as Kaylee calls it. She was so excited and so were we as we were exhausted!

The kids slept great and in the morning Kaylee enjoyed a nice shower. She liked getting special hotel treatment with towels, a yummy breakfast and am cartoons.
We headed back to the zoo to see some of the animals we missed the previous day. This was the kids expressions as there were a bit worn out by zooing it all day the previous day and not getting to sleep until late. Once we saw some of Kaylee's favorite's she perked up a bit but Benny was having bad allergies and was tired so he was a little grumpy.
Kaylee took these two pictures.
She really enjoys taking pictures.
On our way home we stopped off at Pedro's Tacos in San Juan. Oh Pedro's we love you! There is nothing like good Mexican food for cheap. This is our new favorite restaurant!

We had a nice fun long weekend at the Zoo celebrating Daddy. Little did he know he would be in for it on Monday, Labor day! I woke up with a kink in my neck. I thought it would go away within time. Darrin encouraged me to go to the gym since he was home to watch the kids and so I braved the gym with a stiff neck. Well I left the class early in sooooo much pain and could barely drive home. The rest of the day I was laid out. I couldn't move my head, neck or shoulders without groaning or wailing. It was horrible. Darrin had to take care of all of us by himself the whole day! He did a fabulous job. Everybody was happy, fed and obedient. I'm so thankful that he was home and not at work to help take care of me and the kids. My neck still is very sore but a little more manageable today! Thanks for viewing our blog and I hope you all had a great labor free weekend!
