A Day at the Zoo

A couple of weekends ago, we took our girls to the zoo. Rob (or as Abby so lovingly refers to him "Bob"), Kelly and Asher met us there. Despite the long drive, the struggle to get out the door that morning and the threat of rain, we did it and we are glad we did! It was a refreshing trip with good friends and we were even home in time for dinner. Abby loved roaming around the zoo and checking out all the animals. She has been asking to go for months. Since she doesn't remember her trip to the Denver Zoo last summer, we wanted to take her  before fall was over. Ella enjoyed herself too...she just slept the whole time!

kind of crazy to think they are only separated by some really thick glass...

excited to see the penguins

"Look, Mommy! It's Happy Feet!"

classic.

Joe just couldn't pass the tiger without stopping for to pose. :)

good friends.

Abby even got to meet Mr. Penguin after lunch.
