our road trip...day two!

Day two started at the Zoo. We had a blast! We got to see more animals then our zoo, had great weather, and the kids did a great job even though it was a long day!

Kadyn and her "mengo's"! She is in love with flamingos and the entire week before the trip she kept asking if we would see them. When we first walked in, the flamingos were the first thing you saw. Kadyn starts running over to them while clapping and yelling, "yeah mengos". It was funny to see her excitement!

Mia and her size penguin.

The zoo had a huge "Jungle" which is somewhat like our Rainforset in regards to the smell...yuck! This place was huge and had the coolest animals...bats, sting rays, dozens of birds, waterfalls, aquarium. It was just an awesome place...nesides the smell, did I mention it sucked?
Dustin caught Kadyn through the trees, a cute picture of her!

On the way out we spent some time at the Feeding Zoo. It was really a neat experience. They had goats, sheep, chicken, African Cow thing, and camels. Gaby jumped right in to feed the animals but Kadyn was a different story. She wouldn't walk, touch, or feed them. The goats would jump up on the food machines and just lick your hands until you gave them food. One goat knew where the food came from, as Dustin was getting food out of the machine he felt wet, slimmy goo in the food drop of part. I laughed, Dusttin washed his hands a billion times.
We had a great end to our break. After our trip to the zoo, we took our time getting home stopping in Emporia to eat. It was a fun time to get away, spend time as a family, and see some new things! However, I am not a traveler.... one night away for me was enough.
