After church Matt and I decided it was too nice outside to not spend the day outside! So we went home to change clothes and eat lunch and then quickly loaded up the car to spend the rest of the day at the zoo. It was so crowded but even with the parking lot full we still had no problem seeing all the exhibits we wanted to see. They just opened up Sting Ray Bay and we decided to start there. You pay $3 a person and then get to pet the sting rays. Good thing it wasn't more expensive because Hudson wouldn't have any part of it and Hadley was a little scared as well. She claims she was trying to pet the sting rays but everytime they would get really close she would quickly pull her hand away. After finishing up at Sting Ray Bay we saw the monkeys, flamingos, childrens zoo, and grabbed a snack. We then made our way to the gorillas, lions, elephants (Hadley's favorite), and rhinos (Hudson's favorite). We finished up at the park where Hadley showed off her monkey bar skills and Hudson showed us how he has learned to balance (which he was SO proud of). We all had a great time with no meltdowns, unlike the last zoo visit. The kids laughed together, played together, and chased after one another. It was one of those days that was so perfect and one that I didn't want to end.
