On Wednesday of Spring Break, Memama and I took the kids to the zoo. It was an absolutely perfect weather day...not too hot, sunny, breezy - just perfect!
Andrew started off the day not too happy. He did not want to be in the stroller and he wanted to make sure we knew it!
Once we started seeing some animals, though, he got over it. Genna loved this bear. A couple of years ago, Brian and I went to Gatlinburg and brought her back a black bear stuffed animal, so she was excited to see a bear that looked like it.

Checking out the spider monkeys...
Flamingos have always been a favorite of Genna's. She also enjoys standing like one.
Andrew, happier now that he is walking.
Mama and Genna in front of the river otter tank. Genna has an otter stuffed animal, too, so she was especially interested in this exhibit.
These monkeys came up to visit with us.
Being inside with these lorakeets is something my children would have not done just a few months ago. They are getting a little braver!
The beauty of animals really amazes me. That God could create such beautiful creatures all so very different from one another just leaves me in awe. How could anyone not believe?
This little guy was thrilled to get to ride on the train. I think it was the highlight of the day for him.
All smiles! What a great day!
