We're Going to the Zoo!

For the kids birthdays we have tried to make it a tradition that instead of toys, they get passes to some place fun. This year we decided to get LA Zoo passes. It's a little bit early, but with the three day weekend we decided to go ahead and do it. We had San Diego Zoo passes a couple of years ago and it's definitely my favorite zoo, but we decided LA would be a fun change. We had a lot of fun and both of the kids LOVED it. The best part of the day was when Hailey dropped her chap stick into the ground hog exhibit and we had to get a keeper to get it out for us. I didn't care so much about the chap stick, I just cared about not being responsible for the death of a zoo animal.

We had to get the ground hog pictures that every kid who goes to the LA zoo has.

Matthew likes the giraffes as much as mommy does.

 Notice the way my children are dressed? It's been in the mid eighties all week. Alex won't stop complaining. ;) On a side note, my mom was watching Matthew yesterday and decided to give him a faux hawk. Too funny.
