Zoo Day!

Today was a free day at the Zoo kicking off this season. You know what free means, anyone and everyone is gonna come! And Little Rock didn't let me down! We got up this morning and hurriedly got ready so that we could be there as close to 9:00 am (opening time) as possible. We pulled up at about 8:52 and there was a long line to get in so Cody dropped off Jace and I to get in line and he and Jack went to park. As soon as Cody walked up to us in line they had opened the gates and we were close to the front. It went quickly!

We saw all the animals, got a snack, played at the playground, rode the train, saw some more animals, and then had to get out of there before we got hurt!!! By 11:00 am the crowds had turned and it was everyone for themselves! Somehow, we got out the gates but then realized it was going to be just as hard to get out of the parking lot! And, if we hadn't punished ourselves enough already, we decided to eat at Chick-fil-A down the road so that the boys could have some lunch before they fell asleep in the car. We had to park in front of the dumpster!

Oh, what we will do for our kids...........
