We weren't able to join in on the Lego Land trip or the trip to the beach, so it was fun on New Year's Day to spend the day with the McCrea's at the zoo. Besides the scary first part where Garrett got away from us...sigh... it was absolutely wonderful. Garrett loves to run down the hills in the zoo, and by the time we found him, he was pretty far from where we had been at the flamingos waiting for Michelle and Ant. This pic was taken right before he dissapeared.
Because of that, we decided it would be smart to rent a wheelchair so that he couldn't pull that fun trick again.
Jason and Caiti had fun in the stroller. Aunt Michelle was so nice to help push them.
It was so fun to see the animals with all the little kids and with Ant (on her polar expedition). :)
Joscelyn was a good friend to Garrett while they were looking at the animals.
I hadn't seen the hippos out of the water before. It was really fun to see them so close.
Of course the gorilla display was awesome, as always. That is one of my very favorites.
We had a nice lunch together up by the polar bear display.
Then, after 3 hours of hiking around the zoo, we decided it was time to go home. Since we had special needs kids, we got the VIP treatment of riding to the entrance in one of the zoo shuttles and getting a nice tour. :O)
I had a great time the rest of the afternoon having a nice visit with my favorite Ant. Kayli and her kids were very brave and super strong and saw the entire zoo, by foot, in one day. I've never done that before.
That evening we all had a great time with Michelle's new video camera. Joscelyn made a bunch of silly movies, and we LOVED the movie she made her grandpa where she sang such a pretty little song.
