We spent Saturday celebrating a baby-to-be and painting our office-to-be and felt that we should do something fun as a family on Sunday, so we got up early, packed the car and headed to the zoo (and a quick to trip to the outlets in Gaffney where we scored 2 rugs :))
The Greenville Zoo is small and there is a nice playground at the entrance, making for the perfect trip with 3 in tow (anything bigger might have required a grandparent or single friend to join as reinforcement.)
a quick photo op before heading to see the giraffes and elephants...

Danny and Ben looking alike :)
Checking out the hens...
and the "King of the zoo"
a few frogs...
Notice Owen and his map. We have to get one everywhere we go for him to mark off and direct us around. He is so much like Danny!

Gibbons (who put on an awesome show for us)
Until next time...see ya Zoo :)
Me and Audrey went too, but someone had to take the pictures :)I threw a paci in my pocket just in case we could get her to take it in the car and although she didn't love it, it did soothe her during the drive there and back. YAY!
Also, I like to dress the boys alike or in bright colors when we go to crowded places. It helps us to see them if they get a way from us. Just in case you were wondering ;)

Great idea on dressing the boys alike or in bright colors. Audrey looks like she's enjoying her pacifier in her picture. It has it's place and comes in handy occasionally.
As another idea, one time I read something about taking a picture of your child with your cell phone before you go somewhere (or to school each morning) so you have a current picture of what your child looks like along with what they are wearing that day. I don't know if you've ever heard the story of when we lost Macky on a mountain in California when he was about 8 years old and he had to be air-rescued with a helicopter about 5 hours later after he was found about 1-2 miles away from us. I'm not sure any of us REALLY remembered what he was wearing when we were talking to the rescue squad. Cell phones would have been a plus back in the day!
