The weather was relatively mild this weekend (I think the heat index only got up into the high 90s that day) so my friend Terry and I took her two girls and my boys to the zoo. The kids wanted nothing more than to ride the carousel a million times, but we forced them to look at animals, too. We’re so mean.

Their favorite animals are the inanimate ones.

Oh, and drains are cool too:

See how excited they were to be there?

We did some experimenting with camouflage: (let’s just say it’s not their forte)

FINALLY, we rode the carousel:

Fun!
