Daddy's taking us to the zoo

With summer ending we are trying to fit in a few more things before the weather turns too cold so today we were off to the zoo.  My sis and I took the kids during the summer but it was so hot that many of the animals were hiding and it was so busy that we really had a hard time seeing some of animals we really wanted to see.  Plus Claire had been really wanting to take her daddy to the zoo. 

 

Last night at dinner we talked about possibly going to the zoo today but Claire must have forgot because this morning she was asking what we were going to do.  Luke and I decided to remind her by playing the song "Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow" really loud.  Nothing...she still didn't remember.  So then Luke and I are going around the house singing the song over and over again.  Nothing still.  So we finally just had to tell her what our plans were for the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crue loved the polar bear and sea lion.

 

 

Loved this...Claire was worried that Crue would fall back and get hurt so she put her arm behind him.

My favorite part was when Crue saw a rooster walking around the zoo.  He instantly started chasing it around yelling "bok, bok, bok."

Hey, where did he go???

 

Ahhh, I found him!!

The ride home was fun too.  Claire can be quite the little tease.  When she has something that Crue wants when we are driving, she will sometimes lean over and pretend to give it to Crue and the second he leans over to grab it, she will jerk it back.  It drives Crue crazy!!  Well he has learned a thing or two.  Today he had a toy that Claire wanted and he pretended to lean over so she could grab it and just as she had her hand on it, he yanked it away and just started laughing.
