Aunt Tabitha takes Caleb and Ethan to the Zoo!!

First we started out with lunch at Chili's. The boys could barely contain their excitement.

They were too excited to actually eat-all I managed to get down them was milkshakes.

Here are the boys taking a picture with the bald eagle in the background.

These are the "wicked cool" giraffes that they stood and stared at for a long time.

And of course we had to take a picture with the giraffes in the background.

Then we had to take pictures in front of the elephant statues.

I was trying to explain to them the native habitats of the animals they were seeing but they just wanted to take their picture by the map of Africa.

Caleb HAD to take his picture next to the green frog (even though it is a recycling bin).

Ethan saw a spider right before his picture and would NOT move any closer.

We spent forever taking pictures by all of the penguin statues.

This quickly turned into a game of "where did Caleb/Ethan go?" and they would jump out and "scare" me.

Taking a picture in front of the llamas (which somehow turned out to be Ethan's favorite).

The sign in front of the tiger says "no climbing on tiger." It took me a loooong time to convince Ethan that is what it said and that he couldn't climb up on it.

Notice Ethan's face-he is totally uncomfortable. I couldn't convince him that there was no way the tigers could get to him. I could barely get him to turn his back to them long enough for a picture.

There were these tunnels where the boys could pretend to be ground hogs. And yes, I got roped into crawling around in there with them.

Here is the gigantic giraffe slide.
