Memorial Day Zoo Trip and Afternoon @ The Beach












We were at the Henry Doorly Zoo front gates when it opened at 8:30 on Memorial Day. We know that it just get more crowded as the day goes on, so we only planned to spend a few hours there. We went to the aquarium first and took pictures of the kids with the penguin statues. Clair was awake at the zoo for the 1st time! It was exciting for her to see the penguins swim in the water! It was also Doug's first zoo trip of the year! We also saw the giraffes, zebras, Madagascar Exhibit, bears and gorillas. We left the zoo and went to Fazoli's and then headed to Doug's parent's house after naps. Doug rode his bike out there and we met him out there for some fun in the sun. We put on our swim suits and put our toes in the water for the 1st time this year. Doug went knee boarding with Joel & Beth and the kids got to ride in the boat. I stayed on the beach and buried Clair's legs under the sand! She loved the sand and didn't try to eat it! (both of our other kids tried to eat it) She loved to pick it up and watch it go through her fingers!
