On Friday we braved the zoo with 5 kids. I thought it was a great idea until I tried to load 5 kids, a double stroller and single stroller in the acadia...but we did it!
--tight fit, but we barely made it!--
The girls were very good and patient as we fed and changed babies, and tried to keep Zachey occupied with multiple treat stops. The weather was amazing around 75 degrees and hardly any humidity!! The girls got to go inside the parakeet exhibit and feed them with nectar sticks. Some of the birds climbed on them and their arms and shirts. The giggles were priceless :)
After divvying out some snacks we went to see the dinosaurs and spotted some monkeys along the way.
We moved on to see the giraffe (Zachey's favorite) and I sprung to have the kids feed them some lettuce. Their tongues are sooo long!
Then we saw the new Australian exhibit where they have many animals just wandering around near the trail that the kids walk on. It was pretty cool!
We also saw the big cats and Zachey LOVED this little jeep they could "drive."
Fun day at the zoo! Kenna and Megan did a good job of helping. We were definitely ready for lunch and nap when we got home though! Not sure how parents of this many kids handle it!!
