zoo

The Williams family + our family + the zoo = FUN! We went to the zoo for an afternoon picnic adventure. We played mostly in the kiddie area, but who wouldn’t, there is a playground, a carousel, a bounce house, and a Willie Wonka style train.  Too fun.

We did stop to see a few animals along the way... since we were at the ZOO. Left to right is Dries, Hawken, Petal, and Matix

The petting zoo is a must for Hawken. He needs to see them every time we go there. He always scrunches down into this position and talks to the animals. It is so endearing to see. He is such a sweet boy.  Matix loves it too.

It was pretty hot and they had these huge fans with misters on them to cool people down. Dries was a little nervous about it, so Matix jumped in to show him it would be okay. They are such good friends for each other.

Lullaby got sleepy about half way through and Paul has the magical touch when it comes to knocking her out in his arms. I have about a million pictures of him doing this.  And after a while he transferred her into Petal’s stroller.

Petal held hands with Matix and completely made his day. Can you tell?

I tried to get a picture with Hawken on the train, but he refused. This is all Paul could get. Silly boy.

We love the zoo.  It is always worth the sweat. :)

Maybe Hawken will become a vet when he grows up. That affinity for animals starts early. And YES you can see how much Matix liked holding Petal's hand!

I love how Hawken squats down to look at the animals--Jacob does the same thing!
