There were these (well-loved) animal statues all over and they might have been Owen’s favorite part.
One of the highlights was this little bird aviary. For $1 you could buy a stick with some bird treats on it. The birds would land right on your stick. I was pretty shocked that both kids LOVED it and weren’t scared at all. I, on the other hand, didn’t mind letting William and Grandpa stay in there with all the birds.
This little girl is all sass these days and loves to put her hands on her hips. :)
She also loves these two guys:
While the zoo is small (and a tad overpriced) the Africa exhibit is nice. 
The kids lasted way longer than I thought they would and walked the whole way. 
Grandma had baby duty:
We headed back to their house and after a great grilled burger dinner, we celebrated Owen’s birthday a few days early. My Grandma and Grandpa Hoerr came over to celebrate with us. He requested vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. 
He opened a new duplo set (a pirate ship) and was so excited. “This is the best present ever.”
But then he opened the next present which was a pair of pajamas (requested by me) and said “aww man.” I’m taking it that pj’s weren’t really on his list. haha 
We enjoyed chatting and eating dessert while my mom gave the big kids baths before hitting the road. My grandma got in some great Miles’ snuggles.
I really had no idea how this day was going to turn out. I had prepared myself for the worst and at many times throughout the day, found myself in disbelief that we were just getting to enjoy an awesome family fun day with 3 healthy kiddos in tow!
