Fun at Riverbanks Zoo!

We piled into the van with Niccole, Michael, and Alex on Saturday morning! Niccole was a great van-mom (treking back and forth from the passenger seat to the DVD player, twins, and her boys whenever needed)! You never realize how much you do it until you have to see someone else doing it for you! She brought lots of yummy snacks, entertaining movies, and toys! You'd think she was a children's SLP instead of adults'.

Niccole, Alex, Michael, Carson, and Cade are very entertained by those loud, swinging monkeys!

Carson, Mommy, and Cade on the elephants!

Everybody likes the kangaroos!

Michael is going up!

Carson is still eating his corndog, and Cade is just trying to chew up everything in his mouth so they can go play, too!

Cade is going up by way of the stairs while Carson is attempting to go up the slide (and keeps sliding down in the process)!

Cade loves to steer!

Niccole, Michael, and Carson are playing!

Niccole, Michael, and Alex really liked the giraffes!

I was saying the "o" in "Smile at Niccole!"

Cade and Carson absolutely loved Mommy's favorite animal! (Well, Cade was amazed and couldn't leave the side of the glass, but Carson was so glad to be out of the stroller that he was all over the place in there!

Chase those penguins!

Climb those rocks!

I thought this picture was so cute! Too bad that wasn't Alex sitting right there! It was hard to get shots of them all together!

Time for a diaper change before we hit the road! What a great trip! It really couldn't have been any more perfect - the weather was so beautiful, 4 boys under 5 were so good, and all the animals were so much fun!
