Last Friday Brian took the day off so we took the opportunity to make a family trip to the zoo. The weather was a bit dreary, but the rain held off and the crowds were small so it worked out well. Sometimes it seems that these trips are as much work as they are fun, but overall the kids behaved. There were no tantrums, injuries, or fights...in mommy terms that makes it a success!

Popcorn can be a lifesaver when the kids need something to keep them under control. This tactic works well during trips to Target as well :) |

It's possible that they enjoyed the statues of the animals more than the live animals. |

We happened upon a peacock who decided to show off. It's pretty amazing to see them in their full glory. |

Poor Heidi spent most of the time in the carseat, but she hung in there. |
Well just think, if you didn't put in all that work, the kids would never get to have any fun. Cheers to hard work and happy kids! Their smiles say it all.
