The kids and I took Mom to the Philadelphia Zoo the day before Mother's Day to honor and celebrate the holiday with her. It was a great day, and nice to spend time together.Happy Mother's Day Mom - you are the greatest and have taught me so much!
Andrew took this picture of the peacocks. He was strutting his stuff right next to us the entire time we were eating our picnic lunch (I don't think she was in the mood though :-)
Steven was having fun with a boa.
Everyone like the alligator snapping turtle. He was HUGE and quite entertaining to watch.
The zoo balloon wasn't flying AGAIN, so we rode the swan boats. Hopefully sometime this year we will get to go on it! Andrew and Mom went in one boat.....
Steven, Kendyl and I went in another. Kendyl did well for the first lap around the island, but started to cry into our 2nd lap, took her shoes off and even stood up. The lifejackets made it pretty hot, I think that was the problem.
Our picnic lunch next to the peacock. Oh, and the geese! OMG! They kept attacking us from every angle to get food, they were horrible. Thankfully the boys thought it was fun (for a little while anyway) to chase them away. So annoying!
Kendyl having fun in the Treehouse.
Mom took Kendyl on the draft horse named Sam. She cried at first, but calmed down quickly and enjoyed the ride. They boys also went on Sam.
Mom and her grandbabies.
Kendyl was getting quite tired by this point, but grandmom to the rescue with her sunglasses and silly faces. We were waiting for the boys, they wanted to ride the camel.
Here they are!
Kendyl will NOT fall asleep in her stroller for anything (none of my kids ever did/will), but the car, no problem. She slept most of the way home.
