Off to the Jungle!

We are currently on Spring Break here and the week has been somewhat relaxing, but yesterday we hooked up with some friends and the boys and I went off to the Zoo. The weather was nice, a bit brisk but still good weather for seeing the animals. We packed lunch and headed out, all the way in the car Aaron kept saying "we are going to the jungle!" which was too cute. We got to the Zoo just after 10am and WOW it was busy, we queued for about 20 minutes before we made it in through the doors.
I gave Brendan the task this day to be able to point out 10 different birds and we would write them down, as that would be an elective for Cub Scouts that he could get done, perfect task seeing as we were in the Zoo! The place was packed, almost to the point were you wished you had eyes in the back of your head to be able to keep an eye on the 6 kids we had with us. The kids had fun looking at the animals, and the adults were constantly doing head counts! My favorite saying from the day was "there are plenty more animals to see"

We had a fun day at the "Jungle!" the boys and I had to leave by 2pm but they had a great day, and passed out in the car on the way home!
