September 7th (Family Zoo Day/Lunch @ The Peanut/New Swing/Dairy Queen)

Today we finally made it to the zoo with our zoo pass with Nick!

We had to set up a time online...pain in the butt! It wouldn't load then finally the earliest I could get was 10:30!

It was supposed to be a cooler day out but ended up being humid! Yuck! But we still had a great time and all the animals were out and about!

Go Chiefs!!

Up first the polar bear!

Penguins!

They are so cute...but smell horrible! Lol.

This was the biggest Penguin!

Ella was asking to see the Elephants!! Here they are, super close.

I didn't want to go to Africa, but we did it anyways walking the whole way!

We could see a cheetah...soooo pretty!

Monkey!

Leopard...hard to see with camera through the fence. But it was walking around a lot!

Gorillas were out in different places! I love gorillas and cat animals!!

Such amazing animals!

Went inside and saw one hanging out by the glass!

It makes me sad to see them though in a zoo...but I don't think they would have much of a life in the wilderness now either!

Adelyn always reading the maps on our adventures.

Walking across the swaying bridge...pretty view.

We never saw any giraffes this time...weird?

Chimps! Lazy guys!

Baby walked right by the girls!

Rhino.

Mommy and big baby now sleeping together!

Love the reflection of the trees in the water!

Ella wanted a silly pic.

Wish Ella had a smile on that face. The only family picture I could get! Oh well!

This was the best. The tigers were up top where we were at. They got up and walked right near us!! It was soooo COOL!!!

Tiger selfie!

They are such gorgeous animals!!

Walking by each other now!! Oh I just want to pet them!!

Kangaroos were just chillin in the shade.

Addie really wanted to see the lemurs!!

We ate snacks we brought through the day. The girls each got to pick a small stuffed animal for a souvenior. Then we left to go eat an early dinner late lunch around 3 something at the Peanut! It was ok...don't think I need to go back.
We came home and Nick got the swing put up!! ELLA WAS SOOOO EXCITED AND HAPPY!

We should have done this months ago!!

A little to short for Addie. We raised it so Ella could go on her belly better and so Addie could swing on it!

Later on we got Dairy Queen for dessert/dinner!

I can't believe its the first day of SCHOOL tomorrow!! The girls are excited, Adelyn not as much!!

Here's to hoping everything goes smoothly with school and they get back in full time sooner than later!!
