Z is for Zebra

The Thompson Troop and the McGrew Crew loaded up 3 little boys, 2 big boys, 2 tired Mamas and LOTS of kid paraphernalia and headed to the Fort Worth Zoo for the day! The weather was a little cool but was really quite perfect for a fun day outdoors! The hour-long trip was well worth the pleasure of seeing our sweet little boys get so excited about all the animals! After we were inside the park and saw the first exhibit, Landon refused to ride in the stroller anymore because he didn't want to miss a thing! All the boys (including the big ones) were on their best behavior while we enjoyed our 4 1/2 hour stay. Lauren was a real trooper as well, even though she's had the preggo blues lately. She's expecting baby #2 next May! YEA!! After the zoo, we headed to my parents house to celebrate my mom's birthday with some take-out from Chili's and birthday pie! Yum!

Reid is ready to go!

Landon seems to love zebras because he always makes sure to point them out in his books at home. So, this morning Aaron had him get a book and show him a zebra. He told Landon that we would see a real zebra at the zoo. Aaron packed the book away and pulled it out when we found the zebras! What a great dad!!

I was trying to comfort Reid (who was not happy at this point) but Landon was trying so hard to see the lions, so I had to pick him up as well.

This little guy was pooped after we left!

I let Reid get a "taste" of my broccoli! How do you think he liked it?
