Zoo Day!

This past Sunday was a free military admission day at the zoo. They also had face-painting and bouncy things for the kids to play on, clowns, music...all sorts of fun stuff! Alana and I haven't been to the zoo here since last year, so there was lots of new things to see. Angie and Jalen haven't been since OH last week :) We all went together this time, and enjoyed a beautiful day!

First stop, the face painting!

Butterfly...Gosh, I hope this washes off :)

Jalen and Alana holding hands and waiting in line to bounce!

They love each other!

Crazy picture of Alana in the bouncy house!

Time for a lunch break!

Riding the train

Alana was petting the goat :)

And feeding a different one...

They are dancing to "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga lol.

Alana tried to pick up Jalen, like all of her friends at school do to her.

Jalen's turn to pick up Alana

Maybe I can pick her up better from behind...
or at least stop her from choking :)

Jalen found something he could pick up :)

Alana got some too!

I was teasing Jalen, telling him he missed one :)

Just a few more...

I think our kids have a future in lawn maintenance!

Angie and I might have the only two kids in the world that go to the zoo and collect leaves! Hey, at least they were having fun doing it :) We also got to see lots of animals...the elephants, giraffes, the monkeys...all the creepy crawlies...the farm animals! The best part of the day was just getting some fresh air with two of our favorite people!
