Trip to the zoo

Instead of music class on the 13th, we went to the zoo with our music class. It was a lot of fun. Mircea especially liked it because her babysitter Kyleah came along too!
The day was a bit cool, and didn't start raining until we were almost ready to go home. We brought our lunches for a picnic as well.
I didn't take as many pics as I would have liked, but here are at least some to give you the jist of the day.

We have just arrived.
(Casper came along too--but he is on my back, so not in any of the pictures)

Looking at porcupines

Kyleah and Cea

aren't these guys cute?!?

penguins

A whale that did some tricks. Cea thought it was quite cool!

SPLASH!

Of course, the kids enjoyed chasing each other and finding sticks the best!

(we could have done that for free at home! snicker!)

Laura, Nicole and Cea 3 friends from music class

The front side is so beautiful!

The climb

King of the web

i didn't know snails could be so adorable!

This snail is a bit grumpy! (did i mention that she ate both hers and MY sandwiches!)

Ahhhh, the merry go round! It was free, and ride as much as you want.

So we did!

Whee!

It was actually a bit hard to capture them before they passed me by!

Cea also tended to look away or wave, so I would miss getting her in the picture.

I think Kyleah enjoyed riding as well!

Cea really liked this little zebra one!
