Zoo Trip

 Anna borrowed this awesome stroller that sits two kids side by side. Boyd was so excited to have a friend sitting next to him. He would point at Lincoln, look at me, babble something with a smile on his face. This was in the parking lot getting ready to go inside. They look ready for adventure.
 We stopped at the stingray exhibit for some real fun....definitely worth $2. Boyd and Lincoln just splashed in the water laughing and squealing with delight as stingrays swam past their fingers. We got splashed a couple times...or should I say soaked. We had to take Boyd and Lincoln's shirts off to dry and have them wear their jackets until their shirts dried. It was really fun. It was hard to get a good picture because there was water around and two little Boys that would dive in if given the chance.
 It was fun when the animals got really close to us. This cow actually tasted the stroller bar. The boys thought that was pretty funny. I thought the slobber left behind was disgusting.
 For lunch we let Boyd and Lincoln sit at a kid table. They thought that was great and after drumming the table and laughing at it, we ate our packed lunches. The ducks sure enjoyed the crumbs we dropped.
 Here we are at the petting zoo. Boyd found out the goats don't eat sticks or their brushes. He really thought the beards on the goats were funny and tried to pull a few.
 Here is Boyd going in for the tug.
 We decided Boyd needed to experience the carousel. He loved looking around. His facial expression didn't change much from what it is in the pictures. This was towards the end of our day and he was pretty tired.
 Yep, still looking excited here.
Lincoln fell asleep and Boyd sat back to relax on the way out. Occasionally he'd put his feet up on the bar. It was a good day.
