Trying to sneak in a few more family field trips before schools starts, so we headed to the zoo! The kids were able to feed the giraffes, which was pretty cool. We've had issues with whining and being sad about ridiculous things, so if we catch the kids doing it, they have to pretend to be an animal -- which usually results in laughing which changes their attitude. Jake's favorite for a while was being a giraffe -- sticking his tongue out as far as he could -- it must have made quite the impression when that big twisty tongue shot out to grab his piece of lettuce!
None of us had ever been in a butterfly cage before, and turned out to be really fun. This and the giraffes were their favorite things. Butterflies were everywhere and kept landing on us.
We were under strict orders not to touch the butterflies, but with a one year old that doesn't work very well... I had about three on me when taking this picture, but Luke kept trying to poke them. (No butterflies were harmed...hopefully... they all seemed to flutter off just fine...)
