Adventures in Spring Break: Day 6

On the last day of Spring Break, Aunt Sa-Sa and I had planned to go to the zoo so the kids could spend the day together. Turned out not to be such a great day to be out & about, but we did get a couple of hours in at the zoo before the storm clouds rolled in!
We headed to the "older" end of the zoo first to see the penguins & farm animals that we did not visit on our last trip... Brooks, Andi Cate, Cade
 Callie got out of her stroller for a little while to try to run (literally & figuratively :) with her brothers & cousins... Jesse & Callie
 A quick "no we don't really want to slow down long enough to have our picture taken" stop at the totem poles, & sea lions... Andi Cate, Hudson, Cade
 The grizzly bears were very playful today! These two were quite rowdy in the water. I think the kids could have hung out here the whole time! ... Jesse, Hudson, Brooks, Cade, Andi Cate
 Always enjoy seeing (but not smelling! ha!) the giraffes... Cade
I felt bad that I did not have any more or better pictures of the quick trip to the zoo with our cousins, but I did not get my good camera out due to the weather threat. 
The weather was still ok when we left the zoo, so we thought we might hop over & get into "The Chik" before the storm hit, but we had no such luck! The bottom fell out and the tornado sirens started blaring. With a nervous six-year-old and two other precious kiddos in the back, I decided it was time for us to head on home... We'd eat when we got there safely :)
Hoping for a better zoo day next time!!
