A Trip to the Zoo

I feel like we've done a lot of staying at home lately. That may be partly because its so hot in the summer, but Brett suggested to drive to Brownsville to go to the Zoo the other day and I was all for it! Brett got free tickets when Zoo employees came on the morning show one day. (I seriously love all the free tickets he gets!) We took Iosepa with us and made a day of it. We had a great time and both kids did great!

In front of the Gorilla enclosure. They were so active!
Iosepa loved it because we watched Tarzan this week. 

No shame.  Haha!

Kayla loved the flamingos!

Brett and I both thought these turtles looked like
Little Foot from Land Before Time.

Kayla had no fear! She wanted to grab this little bird so badly!

There was a really cute baby kangaroo!

Kayla loved the Giraffes

Even more so, she LOVES riding on Brett's shoulders!
She kicks her feet and squeals in total joy whenever she gets up there!

Kayla really loved the seahorses! She kept slapping the glass.

Kayla showing a little love to Iosepa. :)

Kayla's face here kills me! Its so funny!

When Brett put Kayla down on the ground, the pig backed away.....haha!

The kids got to brush the goat's fur. 

Kayla wanted to do a bit more than brush it. She loves animals!

We had a great day! We topped it off by stopping at Chic-Fil-A on the way home. I've never looked at their kid's meal options before, but was really impressed! Iosepa also loved the play area. I love how much he's warming up to us and I'm grateful for how well-behaved he always is. We will definitely have to head back to the zoo one of these days!

We also stopped at Brett's station on the way home. Its so wonderful how much Brett's co-worker's love Kayla. It really makes us feel a part of the Action 4 Family. We're loving our time here in South Texas!
