Woodland Park Zoo

My husband isn't the biggest fan of going to the zoo, and I'm not the biggest fan of taking all three boys anywhere by myself... so I was super excited to go to the zoo with my mom! The boys did so well and we really had such a fun day together. I think this picture best describes how my boys felt about it. :)


Jacob was our little map reader. He loooved figuring out where we were and what we should see next. Since he is very adament about following rules, he also made sure to read all of the signs to Gavin.
Like when Gavin was climbing the fake cow...


Gavin seemed to find every bench along the way to give his feet a little rest...

Sometimes, his brothers would join him. :)


Casey pretty much stuck with Grammy. He stayed in the stroller for awhile, but mostly wanted to either hold hands with her or be in her arms.




Casey's favorite part was the penguins. He was infatuated with watching them swim and was pretty upset when it was time to leave them. :)



I love that Woodland Park has tons of different climbing activities and caves between the animals... perfect for my little boys!!






We really did see some animals too. I just happened to take way more pictures of my boys!



This story cracks me up! We had given Casey some Dippin Dots, not thinking about the fact that he had never seen them before. He immediately thought they were little balls, dumped them all over his stroller tray, and started playing with them! It totally makes sense though... after all, why should he think little balls are ice cream? It was a big melty mess, but totally funny! :) Once we showed him it was ice cream, he figured it out fast!


Of course, ending our visit in their little play area is always a big hit...



I have this same picture of me and Jacob when he was Casey's age. I wish I would have thought to take one with Gavin when he was this age too!


Now I have one of all three of my boys though. :)
