My Sister Mandy and her kids met us at the zoo today. We all had a blast! My favorite part was seeing the new baby elephant! Another cool thing we saw were hyenas eating a carcass. We also took the train ride which all the kids loved. Allison and Henry kept jumping up and down while I sang chug-a-chug-a-chug-a-choo-choo! The kids had fun putting their zoo keys into the locks to hear about the various animals. Ammon and Devin had fun playing together. At lunch time Calvin had fun spinning the kids around in circles until they all fell down dizzy including himself, as I was trying to get a picture of Allison, Mali'ea tried to pick up Allison by her head...she was fine and surprisingly didn't cry (sorry Julyla!)...and the kids played chase while pretending they were zombies. Mali'ea walked almost the entire time and held onto the handle of my stroller. Everyone got a treat after we were done. Devin chose an icee. After we got home and put the babies to sleep, I made Devin a journal to record what we did today. He wrote a story and drew pictures of what he saw at the zoo. He wasn't to thrilled about it, but once he got going on it had fun.
