Trip to the Zoo


"Doggie, woof, woof"
It was impossible to get all the kids in the picture but we tried

Bryaden had to bring his "raffe" so he could see all the animals too:)
Wow, so it's been awhile since I've made time for my blog. That doesn't mean the Metcalfe's haven't been busy though. Last Friday the HFG girls decided to head to the zoo for a day of fun. The weather was perfect for it. Unfortunately all the schools thought it would be a great day for field trips too:) We met around 10 and headed immediately to the play area so some of the mommies could feed the little babies. After that we saw the elephants, monkey's, fishes, birds, and the rest of the animals. Brayden was being silly and was actually afraid of most of the animals. He wanted to look at them, but not too closely. Peyton on the other hand LOVED looking at the animals and called every one a "doggie, woof woof." It was so cute! We packed a lunch and had a picnic out on the lawn, it was perfect. I think the highlight of the day was seeing the Polar bears. One was in the water playing with a ball and was so cute! Brayden was so excited to see him swimming. It was a little chaotic considering there were 12 children and 5 mommies, but we had a good time and are thankful to Shari for getting us free passes:)
