Our go-to day trip

I don't know what the weather is like for yall, but here it is HOT. Like sweating just getting out of the car hot. With this heat (and the insane amounts of mosquitos right now), I've been trying to find indoor activities to pass the time. And while they do love to paint, recently, both my kids have been in LOVE with the zoo. Like I'll eat my vegetables if we can go in love. It's all they ever ask to do. So, in the heat, we've been going a lot more lately. 

 

They both are big fans of Dunkin, the baby elephant and watching the baths is generally our first stop.

 

 After the elephants, we make our way to the petting zoo where they can brush the goats, harass the chickens and Bub can love on the cows (he's obsessed).

Our zoo trips are not complete however without a ride on the carousel. Thank goodness it only $1.25 to ride, as they would throw a huge fit if we didn't ride it. Every. Single. Time.

 Watching his sister on the carousel.

Because it is so unbearably hot, we've been exploring the indoor air conditioned exhibits a lot more. Our current favorite is the Tropical Bird House. Bub loves all the birds and gets so excited when they fly around.

 

And what's a trip without a family selfie. 3 out of 4 smiling isn't that bad :)
