The Zoo!

Me and Sara took Aiden and Chase to the Sacramento Zoo on Friday - we had perfect weather, right before it got hot. Chase is Sara's youngest and he and Aiden are a year apart in age. They are pretty darn cute together - they play and Chase gets down on the floor and crawls around just like Aiden. So we packed them up and headed down for a nice afternoon checking out the animals. We saw monkeys, zebras, giraffes and the new baby tiger. So much fun and a nice way for me and Sara to get out of the house!

This zebra noticed we were watching him and came right over to stand by us - he was putting on a little show.

By the koi pond - I haven't been to the sac zoo since I was little and it was so nice, very shady paths and lots of plants.

The boy's favorite animal at the zoo - the giraffes! Chase only wanted to do 2 things - see the giraffes and ride the train!

Flamingos...

and the boys checking them out!

We stopped for lunch and hung out on the picnic table in the shade for a little while. Chase got a hot dog "animeal" and Aiden ate animal crackers and pears...neither one of them were really into eating ;)

Chase finally got to ride the train! He looks so proud :)

Me and Aiden on the train - he liked it but was pretty tired by the end and was ready to get off

The ride home, they were both so tired and fell asleep with the stuffed animals they got for souvenirs - don't they look sweet?

They had a good time, Chase was so excited about the train (and the little tractors that the zoo workers drove around) and Aiden just likes seeing people. We came home and put them in bed to finish the naps they started in the car. When they woke up they played together in Aiden's room for about an hour. It is so neat to watch them interact and play! Hope we can take them out again soon!
