Rainy Day Fun

We had planned a play date with our new friends Jen and her girls for today, but with a high chance of rain in the forecast we were not sure what we wanted to do. She and her girls hadn't been to the zoo yet this year, so we decided to brave the rain and try to go this morning. I bought each of the kids some inexpensive rainy day activities earlier this week and they have been begging to do them! I let the older two each do one of them this morning before we left for the zoo and they were so happy!

Hard at work on his robot. 

She did a great job coloring her wooden princess too. 

Finished products. :) 

We got to the zoo a little after 10 and it was cloudy but not raining. Yay! 

Our son was the only boy but he didn't seem to mind. He played tour guide for the day. ;) 

All 5 kiddos looking at the animals. 

I've noticed that when it is cloudy or rainy, a lot of the animals are more active. The male lion was looking right at the kids and roaring at them through the glass!

This cute girl sits by herself and waits for me to take a picture now when we are at the zoo. Ha ha! 

They always have to stop and pose in the eggs. 

And by Mr Orangutan 

Our 5 year old was mad that she couldn't sit on top of the orangutan, but decided she would still pose for a picture. ;)  Kids!

The python was really active today too. Our son was fascinated! 

Snake whisperer? ;) 

Three sweet girls looking at the orangutans. 

We were trying to get to the spot where we have lunch and were slowed down by this gaggle of geese! Is that what a group of geese is called? ;)

It started raining while we were eating lunch so we left after, but we were happy to get a couple of hours of zoo time in before the rain!  Thanks for meeting us Jen. :)
