Hippos!
Andrew waited the whole day to see the hippos. They are truly his favorite animal at the zoo. I think if he had his choice, we would spend our whole visit to the zoo at the hippo exhibit. Our visit to the hippos goes a little like this: Run to the top to see them come up for air. Run to the underground area to try to see them swimming in their tank. Run back to the top. Run back to the bottom. Run. Run. Run.

Hannah looked like this for most of the day at the zoo, and of course she refused to take a nap.

And their on the move, again!

Jonathan and Andrew with Grandpa Marvin

While Jill, Sydney and Brenna were here visiting, we made a trip to the zoo. I know we've been multiple times and see all the same animals, but the kids LOVE it. They would go every day if I would take them. We met Grandma Jan and Grandpa Marvin there and GiGi tagged along. (Jill's grandma was offended that she was asked if she would like to tag along. She responded by saying, "What? You don't want me to lead?!) She cracks me up! We had a great time and everyone was very tired at the end of the afternoon. Especially the moms!
