First we checked out the animals! The weather was perfect - slightly overcast and cool. The animals were very active and the kids loved it. Even Lucas enjoyed hanging out with the animals!
Liz wore her koala bear shirt and kept telling us that the koala was her favorite animal (news to us!). When we arrived at the koala exhibit, there was a sign that said the koala's name was Lizzy - I guess it was meant to be.
Dan saw this fence charger in the gorilla habitat and began coveting it...something about keeping our own animals contained.
We packed a lunch and eventually made our way to the playground at the top of the zoo. The kids had fun playing while Grandpa, Lucas and I got lunch ready.
Eventually we coerced everyone to the table for food. Grandpa had brought tangerines to share and Lizzie was enamored with the Cutie sticker.
We took a family picture as we were LEAVING! Next time we'll take it on the way in before our children are ready to drop into bed!!!
We had an awesome time with Grandpa Fong! Thank you for being Luke's buddy! He sure seems to adore you.
And of course Liz was overwhelmed by the smell of some of the animals...it wouldn't be a trip anywhere involving animals without Liz having issues with her nose!

I love your zoo pictures! It makes me want to go back. Your family picture is cute, too! Funny, about Liz having "nose issues"- my girl is sensitive to smells, too, and always lets us know- no matter where we are!
fun times at the zoo! It looks like a perfect day! (and luke looks thrilled to have grandpa as a buddy...just the look on his face. It's great!) I know waht you mean about taking pictures at the right time and i only have one tired kid...but still a fun picture of everyone!!
