Zoo

One Tuesday, my mom's group met at the Columbus Zoo with all the kids.  We have really expanded the past few months!  When I first started hanging out with Angela and Holly, it was the three of us with our three kids.  Now we are five moms with ten kids and one on the way.  At the zoo, we had four moms and 9 kids because I had picked up Theo since Angela just had her baby Cora.  I can tell you this, I am not ready for three kids yet!  How do you not loose one?!

This is how we roll: Eliana and Theo in the double stroller and William in the Ergo.  This went really well at first until Eliana decided that she MUST sit in whichever seat Theo was currently in.  

 We went to the new Heart of Africa exhibit at the zoo.  I had not been there yet, so I was excited to see it.

I tried to get all the older kids to line up for a picture.  Haha, yeah right

The best we can do.  Theo didn't want to be in the picture, so Eliana tried to pull him in

Adele, Eliana, Amelia, Leo, Claire, and Theo checking out a bear.

This was really cool!  They had an airplane as part of the lion exhibit, like a plane that crashed in the savanna.  The kids loved it!  and the lions were sitting right on the wing outside the windows!

Sitting in the cockpit (more excited about the steering wheel than the lions)

Leo, Amelia, and Eliana in line to feed the giraffes. 

She got to feed "salad" to the giraffe.  The first two tries, Eliana got scared and threw the lettuce on the ground.  Finally she was able to hold the leaf long enough for the giraffe to lick it out!  Great finish to our visit!
