My Mother's Day

The end of the school year is always so busy! Between our rain storms, we try and stay outside as much as possible, so I am behind with the blogging! Oh well, living life, not just writing about it, I guess.

My mother's day was super nice. We actually had a good weather day, so we decided to head to the zoo (free for mom's) with everyone else in Cincinnati! It wasn't super busy, we just had a surprisingly long wait to enter.

I'm not normally a take a bunch of pictures of the animals at the zoo kind of person... but I was trying to capture our day.


Plus, why else do they have these animal statues! Posing kids of course. Not that my kids pose... I mean, Max is actually picking his nose in the background, NICE!


Here they are actually looking at the camera! This is the Japanese garden with a huge koi pond where Zoey bent over to talk to the fish and her gum fell out! I am not sure how well koi are at digesting gum... does it stay with them for seven years?

The lorikeets are always fun...






He is actually pecking at a freckle on her arm here thinking it is food!


We just saw the movie RIO, so we stopped by the blue macaws...






This is my favorite animal picture of the day... I don't know what his name is, however...

Just as I am about to snap the picture, the train goes by behind me... way more interesting than momma!


Some cool houses...


We stopped by a neat bookstore and ate some lunch and headed home. It wasn't until after baths that I realized I didn't get pictures of me! Still bad at that... so here we are at the end of Mother's Day... thanks sweet family:)
