Day 5 ... Zoo Day

Today was so much fun! There were no boring appointments for the kids to sit through, and no long trips on the road, just some family bonding time. The kids were so excited about today.  It took Hudson a little while to get used to the zoo. He was not so sure what to think. He started to warm up by the time we got to the monkeys that you could feed and by the time we made it to the giraffes he was hilarious.  We made lots of great memories.  I will let the pictures tell the rest :)

 We have been to this zoo before, so we knew to rent a stroller for a tired kiddo :)

 Our favorite part of the zoo!

 Look at those tongues!

 All the kids wanted to do this, but it cost extra money to pet the koala.  Lauren decided she wanted to use her own money to pet it.  How fun!

 Again, used her own money to feed a baby tiger.

 So did this guy. Look at the love in his eyes.  He just loves animals so much!

He's a natural :)

 Entering the panda exhibit.  They have the world's only triplet giant pandas.  They are only 6 months old.

 The mom panda is in the background and one of the cubs is in the tire. WE saw all three of them, but could not get them all in the same picture.

 He wanted a little panda hat. I just couldn't resist :)

 So glad he had some money to spend. He picked out some little soon animals and a car.
