Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my! Our First Trip to the Zoo

"Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my," Anna Ryan chanted as we all rode to the Montgomery Zoo yesterday.  What a fun-filled, exhausting day it was.  What I thought would be a half-day excursion turned into an all-day adventure.

It started out with a comedy of errors.  Dogs getting out, rearranging car seats, pilling in the strollers, needless to say, we left a little later than we had planned.  But by 9am we were rolling down the highway headed to the zoo.  9 kids, 4 moms, 2 cars and a partridge in a pear tree.

Every animal was gazed on with utter amazement as the kids pressed their noses to the glass.

We managed to keep all the kids together as a group.  One point for the moms.  No tantrums.  Another point for the moms.  And everyone seemed to get along beautifully.  Moms win.  Top it off with sunny 78-degree weather, and it was a wonderful trip.

I love these pictures of LB and Mason.  So cute!

And daddy might have to keep an eye out on this little girl.

Kids are so fun to watch when they are on adventures like these.  Everything is amazing and awesome to them.  LB could not stop saying whoa whoa whoa all day long.  I look forward to our next adventure down the road.
