it's a zoo (no...REALLY)

seriously...i mean the little rock zoo! today was gorgeous, and being good friday gege was off...so after a bit of discussion, we thought it might be a good idea to make our annual zoo visit. BUT this time we thought to invite gege and pawpaw, and su and setler. it was so much fun having the whole crew...

vivian loved the carousel. it is one of only four working wooden "jumping" carousels in existence. it was very pretty, and a new addition to our trip.

also something new, was the hands on bird exhibit...vivian and i got to touch the rainbow....uhhhh....rainbow
....uhhhhh...ok, i forgot its name. sorry.

and look at this happy man, he is so easy to please!

vivian was so excited to see her gege....

and setler was super interested in the animals. look at that intense stare!

i think bauer, like his mommy and aunt su, liked the giraffes best...

wait....i guess EVERYONE liked the giraffes best!!

luckily, since i had done this before i thought to pack a picnic lunch. so we all sat down and had a little snack. here are the girls and babies...

and here are the boys (the ncaa tournament was a hot topic today, of course!)

and for some reason vivian thought it would be fun to pick flowers. i didn't see her do this, nor did i take this gorgeous picture, so i must give credit where it is due...thanks, aunt su! :)

i guess you can say a good time was had by all....it was a little exhausting though...teeheee!
thanks guys for joining us...we had a great time! love ya!! :)
