Fun Day at the Zoo

Wednesday was Earth Day and so to celebrate we went to the zoo with friends. We weren't really celebrating Earth Day it just happened to fall on the day we planned to go to the zoo but I did think it was fitting. We met up with our friends Melissa and Will and Jennifer and Ava for a fun filled day of animal sighting and picnicking. The Jackson Zoo - while not one of the top US zoos is really quite good. However, the way they have the exhibits - or habitats - or whatever you call them set up it is very difficult for the babies to see the animals from their strollers. Therefore our favorite animals were the giraffes and the elephants - those that could be viewed no matter what because of their height. We had a fun picnic and called it a day after half of the zoo - that is about all the kiddos could do. Unfortunately none of the kids would look at the camera at the same time but you can get an idea of our fun day!
