Webkinz Road Trip

Webkinz came to our little zoo on Saturday. This was an exciting event for our household. We don't have a Wii or Playstation, so the boys gather around the computer and play Webkinz World.

I really wasn't sure how Cade was going to do. As we walked into the zoo, he shoved his owl into the stroller. He is in that in between world. He still loves little boy things, but he also loves to sit and watch sports endlessly and has taken a strong interest in girls. (not sure if I am really ready for that one) But I am happy to say, all three boys had a very fun time. Cade even thanked me this morning for taking him.

They won little shirts and shorts for their Webkinz to wear and those popular bracelets. They brought some animals around while we stood in line; a blue tongued skink, a tree frog from Australia, and a big snake. And then the last thing was, they took their Webkinz up for a physical. (I stood in line the entire time waiting for this while they went around to the other tents)

Trey was so cute. He answered all the questions about his Webkinz. It's kind of funny though, his name keeps changing. It was Baby Tasha and now it's Hailey.

We walked around and saw a few animals and then headed home.

Is this too cute... little Aleah with her big brother.....

I don't know Why Daddy is my Favorite....

yum....

Mommy makes me eat yogurt or cereal. Yippee Daddy!!!! Chocolate donuts!!!! that boring mommy.

How's a mom to compete?

Lions, and tigers, and bears! Oh, my!

One of our favorite family outings has always been a trip to the zoo. This was our first trip down to the Indianapolis zoo. Of course, that day it was 90+ degrees outside with 100% humidity. Alright, I don't know the exact details; but it was miserable. This entire summer was just super hot and humid. So if you wanted to do anything it was going to be HOT!

So we got there and we heard about the dolphin show and we knew we were heading there and getting out of the sun. The dolphins were great. We all really enjoyed it. I was so emotional, I cried. I know, stress and emotions will make you crazy. (we had put an offer on a house the day before, among other things)

My pictures aren't great, but the show was so fun.

Cade and I went to the elephant show. Nobody else wanted to come out into the sun to watch it. Aren't elephants amazing?

I went with Cade on his first roller coaster. (this is not an attractive picture)

Poor little Aleah had been bit by a mosquito earlier in the week. So her eye was still all swollen. She did great though.

Giraffes are amazing. How did God come up with them?

Rhinos are just weird. Once again, how did God come up with this?

Daddy's little girl.

The thoroughly melted family.

Eeeek!

I love bears and I love taking pictures of them. I would love to go on some kind of safari to take pictures of animals. If I had a great camera, knew what I was doing, and did not have to sleep in the wilderness.

We ended the day in the shark petting area.
