We had an awesome day at the zoo on Friday. The kids were happy to be out doors running and climbing. Visiting with friends. The weather was absolutely beautiful! The animals were all out basking in the sun.
Here are some of the Cornerstone kids.
The zoo has this new ray exhibit. It was cool because the kids could reach in and pet their backs as they flew by. It surprised me that Victoria didn't want to touch them. She just watched with her arms folded.
This is a really cute little spider monkey. They are always cute until you see them mark their territory. You don't really ever want to stand under a monkey. They are cute but unpredictable.
Two Cutie Patooties. This was the first time that Kaleb, Victoria and I ever went somewhere like this without Daphne and Jared. They had their drama class that afternoon and decided that it would be more fun for the little kids if we didn't have to rush back to get them to their class on time. It turned out to be a great day.
This was really neat. We haven't been to the zoo in a really long time. (Well, atleast the Phoenix Zoo. We have gone to the Albuquerque Zoo a few times this past couple years. ) They installed a "check your speed thing". We spent quite a while there while the kids all took turns trying to out do eachother. I think the bigger kids were really expecting to run faster than 10 mph. I thought it was pretty good but they thought for sure that they could run faster than that. Victoria ran 7 mph and Kaleb ran 8-9 mph.

Zach and Kaleb being swallowed up by a giant clam. That is if you can actually be swall0wed by a clam.
Who can resist a ride on the carousel.
Victoria was very proud of herself. When we got in line she announced that this was going to be the first time that she was going to ride all by herself. I explained to her that she had to meet the height requirement. She was very excited when the man said she was tall enough. And that was the first thing she told Daddy when she saw him. "I rode the carousel all by myself!" I love it.

Those are GREAT pictures. Hats off to you, Miss Photographer. ;)
It was a great day. Sadly, I did not get too many pictures. Can you believe?!
We need to go and do that again!
I always enjoyed taking the kids to the zoo, great times. That is fun to do things with some or one of your children the experience is so different. I agree with your friend, Stephenson, you did take great pics.
