A zoo, literally and figuratively...

To kick start Tony's break we took a jaunt to Hogle Zoo with Alicia, Neil, Allie, Jessie and all ten kids. But thanks to Indie and a little stroller drama we experienced a zoo and just happened to see some animals too.

At the time we didn't have a double stroller so we brought two single strollers, however, Indie insisted on either walking everywhere or being held only by me. We ended up pushing an empty stroller while holding Indie or chasing after her. In the end we folded one stroller up and put it on top of the other and looked pretty ridiculous with that wide load. We have since got a double jogger.

Here are some pictures from our adventure.

Me, Leash and the kids.

Indie loves sticking her tongue out to feel wind. If there is even a small breeze her tongue will be out. There were huge fans with misters attached to them blowing throughout the zoo and Indie loved cooling down in front of them...tongue out, of course.

This little guy is new to the zoo and is so cute. He looks little but is probably as tall as Tony.

Tony and the girls.

This was, by far, our favorite part of the day. The baby meerkats were one month old.

The meerkat and Indie were having a staring contest.

Indie just kept touching the glass and it would come right up to her. It was so funny.

Tony took this sweet shot of this big guy.

Luckily Eden did a lot of sleeping while we were there. Look at those long fingers.

So what started out a little rough turned out to be a fun day.
