Fun with Friends at the Zoo

Today we spent the beautiful day outside at the Indianapolis Zoo with our good friends Amanda and Jack. We really enjoyed the weather, company, and entertainment. We enjoyed the dolphin show, a picnic lunch, feeding the giraffes, petting the goats and seeing the many animals at the zoo.

Amanda and I were the monkeys that people were all looking at while trying to get all 3 kids to look at us at the same time for 1 picture. We didn't even care if they were smiling or not we just wanted them to all look at us at the same time. I'm sure we were quite the scene.

Garrett was a little timid at first with touching the animals. But, monkey see monkey do was sure to follow his big sister. So, with a little encouraging from Zayda he began to warm up to the animals a little bit.

Zayda was really excited about the baby goats (they are the black blur behind her) and was a little disappointed that she couldn't hold one of them. She was so proud to show them to Garrett.

Here, they are checking out the peacocks and an ostrich. How cute is Zayda being the protective big sister and Garrett thought he was pretty hot stuff standing up there with his big sister.
