Trip to the Birmingham Zoo

Wednesday afternoon the boys & I (Kevin was in Jacksonville all week long) headed up to Tuscaloosa to stay with my friend Robin's parents & head to the Birmingham Zoo on Thursday. We thought it would be a great day to go and since the schools in the area already had spring break, we thought it would be kind of empty. Boy were we ever WRONG! There were school buses everywhere! I guess Thursday was the day for field trips! We had a great time though, and were glad to spend so time with our friends. Thanks to Nana & Poppa for letting us stay the night!

Emily, Kerri Ann, Myles & Connor hanging out at Nana & Poppa's house. We were wired!!!!


This was actually the last picture that I took and so Connor was not very photogenic!!


My absolute FAVORITE picture of the day! Love, love, love this picture of Connor with the birds in the background!


Myles with the butterfly life cycle, which he learned about before spring break!


The boys with some pretty colorful birds in the background!


The kids riding a camel. They had a blast. Now that I look at the pictures, I noticed Connor wasn't a gentleman because poor Kerri Ann is behind him! We'll make sure we work with him on his manners! Of course here he is with his no fear attitude!


Me & the boys. We were on our way out so by this time and 136 pictures later, Connor wasn't very happy to see the camera! Thanks to Robin for taking our pic!


For lunch, we packed a picnic & enjoyed the nice weather!


Priceless picture: Kerri Ann reading the map to Connor! So sweet!


Monkey see...Monkey do! This was Connor while we were looking at the monkey exhibit!


The boys and the alligator! He/She was staring right at the boys & we were actually able to see him/her move from the grass & into the water. And the water, it was so nasty!
