Ist Day Without John and We Went to the Zoo

Yesterday we went to the zoo.  Since none of my kids could ever remember going to the zoo I guess it was about time.  Melissa used to work there and she's going back to Utah on Wednesday, so we wanted to go with her.  We got the group discount because we had 2 adults and 11 kids (Missy and Steve met us there).  We also had to pay for parking and list on the form whether we had a bus or a car.  I chose car.  The lady said, "You all came in ONE car?"  "It's a big 15 passenger van."  "Oh."  The highlight of my visit.

It was a little hot but we mostly had a good time.  Noel really liked all the animals and insisted that I make room for her so she could see all the animals.  That was fun to watch. The kids were all really good and stayed with their partners.  If we went again I would bring more water, more hats, and another stroller.  Popsicles at the end seemed to make everyone happy.
