A Trip to the Toledo Zoo

This morning, Rainah and I tagged along with Jill and the boys and Heather Wood and her kiddo's on their annual zoo trip. Nancy and Isaac also came along to hang out with us. Usually they hit the Detroit Zoo, but this year they decided to try out the Toledo Zoo. It was a gorgeous zoo with a great layout and lots of things to see and do. It was a gorgeous day and the kids were all really great- most of them even crashed in the car on the drive home.
Thanks for letting us come along and Happy Birthday, Jill!

See his little face smooshed in the corner??

Our monkeys watching the monkeys- they were great... chasing each other all over the place (the monkeys, not the kids)

Rainah LOVED this gorilla for some reason

Really loved it

Yep, she's still on the gorilla

Rainah and Talan seemed to like each other's strollers more than their own

And each other's snacks
