Zoo Trip!


The weekend before last, we went to the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia!  We wanted to do something fun before Weston started school, so we decided to go to the zoo because Wyatt has never been there.  Also, I had zoo vouchers that expire in September, so we wanted to use them before the expiration date. We decided to spend the night in Columbia on Saturday so the boys could go swimming, and so we could get an early start at the zoo on Sunday. Again, we used Priceline to book our hotel room, and we were placed at the Hyatt. When we first arrived in Columbia, we checked in our hotel, and then went to the Sportsman Warehouse. Nathan loves to go shopping there and we thought the boys would have fun there too!! After shopping, Weston said he was in the mood for spaghetti, so we went to dinner at Carrabbas. We went swimming at the hotel after dinner, and the boys had a blast:) The next morning, we woke earlier and heading for the zoo before it got too hot!! We had a very nice time, even though it was a bit hot that day!!

We thought Weston looked like the redheaded bully in the movie, A Christmas Story!
can you see the resemblance?

We were able to see the baby giraffes being bottle fed.  I think they were about 6 weeks old.

I think Wyatt enjoyed the aquarium the most!
