Jake wanted NOTHING to do with feeding the animals but he did pet a donkey. As soon as he pet it he quite excitedly said "did you see me pet it, mom???? are you proud of me???" Of course I was. And as always, I captured the moment.
The kids all saw the giraffe and wanted to go visit with him so we started walking around the areas that they have turkeys, a few different types of donkeys, a bear, a siberian tiger, a couple wolves and a few other animals....of course it took some time because we had to stop and oooh and ahhh over all the animals we saw. By the time we got to where the giraffe HAD been, he was back in his little house. bummer. I did manage to get this shot before we got distracted by the sleeping wolves. Yep, they were THAT exciting.
Look closely over Jacob's left shoulder, you can see the giraffe.
There are random peacocks all over the place at this zoo.
Before we had our picnic lunch we played on the playground that we never knew existed before. The kids all had a blast (I know, I keep referring to them all as the kids..there was a bunch of us today. My neighbor, Megan, and her 2 kids, Connor & Abby, were there. My other neighbor, Nikki, and her cutie patootie daughter, Emma, were there. My neighbor at our last house, Allison, and her two kiddos, Russell & Brett, were there. Add the boys and I and there were 11 of us!)
This picture just cracks me up:
He made it to the top!
We finished off our day with Jacob's soccer game.
I'm pretty sure this was right after he did a somersault on the field, mid-game.
Brotherly love...
