Wednesday night we attended members night at Hogle Zoo. This is a night where they open new exhibits and have special activities for the kids to participate in. We got the invitation back in April and hadn't planned to go, but last minute decided to spend the small fortune in gas and head up there. I'm so glad we did because we had fun! It was nice to be at the zoo when it wasn't completely packed or swelteringly hot (yes, it is mid-June and we all wore long sleeves).

The kids each colored an animal they attached to a pixie stick to celebrate the opening of the carousel. Clayton and Morgan got temporary tattoes of the white crocodile's eye. We got to pet a possum, see the pregnant elephant (and I thought my belly got huge!), and ride the train. Unfortunately we missed the bird show because it filled up so fast. I guess we'll have to hit that next time. My favorite part was seeing the kids play on the playground. We had never done that part of the zoo before and the kids had a blast! Clayton made a very agile Spiderman and the kids had fun on all the different props.
I don't use the word very often, but our evening was truly delightful.

What a fun post! I remember the good old days at the zoo...wish my kids still enjoyed stuff like that. Hey, how do you get your photos to post in a four square?
Fun! You guys are such good parents!
How fun! I can tell we haven't been to the zoo in a looooong time!
Looks likes so much fun; the zoo is a blast with kids. I'm with Leslie - how do you get your pictures in a four square?
What a great family activity! We have done the zoo as one of our fun Fridays every year. I was thinking about skipping it for something new this year, but reading your post makes me think we should include it again. :)
What a great photo of your family at the top of this post! We have an amazing zoo here in Omaha if you ever want to come check it out! BTW I love coming to your blog because you have such great music!
I love those pictures! I took my kids to the zoo and everyone loved it. I was a little surprised with the girls being so "cool" and everything. Looks like a great time was had by all.
