Zoo!

We were excited to tell K & T that we were going to the zoo Saturday morning after they woke up.  K was SO HAPPY and immediately began talking about what animals she wanted to see. It had been a couple of months since we've been there and she had a list :).  We ate a quick breakfast of pancakes and strawberries and we were on our way. 
She's pumped to be at the zoo!
All decked out for the great weather

Who's ready?

Of course, these guys were first on K's list, the elephants!

Mommy & K

It was the zoo's Easter celebration and there were treat stations all over the place.  K quickly learned that there was usually candy at these white tents and happily grabbed a piece for her & T. 

K & Daddy loving the sunshine.

T thought he was in hog heaven when we gave him a lollipop, it's only the second one he's had in his whole life. 

He knew immediately what to do and gobbled up the whole thing in a matter of minutes.  He is Mr. Sweet Tooth.

K, on the other hand, licked her lollipop a couple times of then said, "I'm done".  She skipped to put it in a near trash can and never looked back.  Now, if that was a pickle or a black olive, I bet she would have loved it!  What a funny girl.

T had a great time people watching and animal watching.  He especially liked when we got him out of the stroller and let him walk around.

Red Panda!

Rhino!
Polar Bears!

Black Bear!
Peacock!  Perhaps, T new favorite animal.  He's really into birds recently and really liked seeing this guy up close.

The weather was splendid, the animals were active and we hope it's not too long before our next zoo trip, because it was a perfect day!
