A Trip to the Zoo!

On Saturday morning, we went to the zoo. It was so much fun! The kids had a blast and especially loved the Koi pond and the giraffes. Those were both my favorites too! The giraffes were amazing and we got to feed them and see them up close...they are magnificent! The Koi are kind of gross...there are about a million, all with their mouths open waiting to be fed. Check out the video below to see us feeding the Koi and the giraffes.

After the zoo, we drove through to get some lunch and headed home so the kids could nap (which Tate didn't!) and the guys went golfing. Lora and I had a great time just chatting and then decided to watch Blood Diamond and lay around and relax. When the kids woke up, we played and chatted some more. Then we ordered pizza just in time to arrive when the guys got home. It was a great day and the kids crashed without a fight!


Here we are on the train at the zoo.

Tate always in amazed by the aquarium.

Cute family picture of the DeCooks...not to distract from their beautiful family, but check out the left side of the picture...that's Tate (aka...an accident waiting to happen) who Daddy obviously does not have a close eye on like Mommy demanded! He stayed dry...somehow. By the looks of this picture, I am amazed he did!

Lora's got some cow milkin' skill...

...she is trying to pass those skills along to Ava.

The kids actually held hands...seriously, SO CUTE!

Tate feeding the giraffe. It was so awesome to see these creatures so up close! Tate and Ava (and really all of us!)thought it was pretty amazing too!

The giraffes are my fave!
