Family Date Day: The Zoo!

It had been awhile since we've been able to plan a family date, so with the weather getting (somewhat) cooler, we opted to head to the zoo for the day.  Added bonus, Uncle C and A joined us too!

The real motivation to go the zoo was for Super Hero day, to see Spiderman and Captain America.  But because the lines to see these two heroes would require a heroic amount of patience from a four-year-old, we elected to forgo the picture op.  Thankfully, Little Buddy was too excited about seeing the animals and Uncle C to be bothered by missing out.

This picture was taken right before I fell off the back of the ladybug statue!

One of my favorite parts of today, watching the trainers feeding the elephants!  He threw an entire giant sweet potato, football-style, into her mouth. 

Sadly, a tired Little Sweetie was not as impressed by the elephants.  But she did look cute in her elephant outfit!

And a girl and her daddy!  And a Momma who got to stand on the sidelines for once and take pictures!  

It was a wonderful trip!  We finished up our excursion with lunch with C and A at Torchy's Tacos, a beloved downtown taco destination that Daddy and I hadn't been to before.  They were pretty tasty!  The rest of the day went well too, as both kids resisted the curse of the zoo and napped when we got home!  A total miracle!  A truly great day!

Good night,
