Last Sunday the kids were cracking up over a video Husband was showing them of monkeys eating poop. Since we had an as-of-yet unused family membership to the Stone Zoo we said "let's go there!" The kids lasted about an hour and a half - perfect for the rather small zoo. The more active animals were interesting - like the flamingos - but the kids pretty much just sat in their stroller and Ned drank an entire straw sippy cup of water. Maybe inspired by the camel-like Zebu?
And last night Husband moved their highchairs to the back strip of lawn and the kids dined al fresco.

Looks like a wonderful day! And isn't that zoo perfect for the little ones? It's a little boring to me as an adult, but still at almost 4, it's just the right size for my boys! The Franklin Park zoo is still just a touch too big...more of an EVENT than just an outing, if you know what I mean.
Flamingos are still my boys' favorite. They still call them Flamin-min-gos or Flamin-glows. I don't know why they love them so much...it STINKS near them! :)
Did the open air inspire Penny to eat new foods?
We did al fresco dining once - wasn't as enjoyable as I hoped it would be. They're still a bit vampire-ish in that they pretty much hate sunshine.
I love the al fresco dining! Cute pics!
We have a small science center with animals & I've been debating if they are old enough. It may be the time to go. We've also been a fan of the al fresco baths given in their little baby pool. So easy & no clean up!
OH we love that zoo. It's the perfect size :) The kids can't get too far away. ;) And with the membership, you don't feel so bad going for a just few hours at a time.
Love the out door dining!
