We love the zoo, we really do. But we absolutely hate crowds! This summer I kept thinking we'd get over there early one morning and enjoy it in the fresh, cool air for an hour or two but of course August rolled around and we had never made it over there. The day before school started ended up being a crisp rainy day so we headed over after Luke's nap for a late afternoon visit and voila—hardly a soul in sight! We enjoyed the open paths and empty exhibits plus the animals loved the cool air.
Checking out the zebras
And the lions. We loved how synchronized these guys were that afternoon.
It had been raining all day but cleared up for the rest of the afternoon once we got there.
I love this picture of all my darlings in the nest. I posted it on Instagram and Joseph's comment was "What will they do pretty bird? They will fly far away..." It's a line from one of our favorite lullabies around here
Pretty Bird. And it makes me a little sad every time I sing it...
Luke loves this little otter!
My silly photobombing kids! Of course Cares was super mad about Livs wrecking her picture so we took a few more —but this one is still my favorite :)
Bean then asked the girls to please photobomb his picture on the cats and everyone was happy and fine again!
A little fun in the gift shop at the end of our visit

I almost started crying at that quote Joseph shared about them in the nest! Which I totally remember playing in that nest when I was little too
