Zoo

I recently made the mistake of taking the kids to the zoo on a Saturday when an event was taking place. I wanted to go and check out Boo at the Zoo. We were not going to a pumpkin patch this year, it was advertised that there would be a pumpkin patch at this event, and I wanted some cute fall pictures.

First we waited in line to see the new koala exhibit. Cute.


Then we headed to the main event. First off was the hay maze. Rob did manage to get one shot of Guinevere with a bow in her hair before it was lost. None of the other children in this rather lame hay maze. The other kids all made there way to more interesting exhibits like painting picture of a cow.


When Joseph found out the the cow that he had drenched in paint had to stay at the booth to dry and be retrieved later we ended up with this.


After all this fun we lost Jacob to the play area. It was at this time that Rob pointed out the "pumpkin patch" that I had come for. I was somewhat less then optimistic when I sat out to wait in line with the three girls for our turn in the "pumpkin patch." After getting this lovely picture we left. Oh the way home we enjoyed a choir of screaming, thus rounding out a beautiful morning at the zoo.

Don't you just love days that don't turn out as planned? At least you'll have the memory ... and they won't! ;)

Hmm... This sound just like what happens every time I try to create some "special memories" with the kids. It's enough to make me stop trying.
