Day 3 meant the zoo!  There were real panda bears at this zoo.  Alicia had never seen panda bears before!

I went a little nuts when we saw the flamingos!  Well, ok, a lot nuts!

This time the stroller was a “No bootie” zone.  Only stuff went in it, not us!

Choo, choo!

Wait, Autumn let you hold on to her?  That’s kinda like a hug and Autumn doesn’t do hugs!

GOATS!  Autumn says brushing the goats was her favorite part.

Can we take this canon home with us?  Come on guys, lets move it!

JTL_0608 JTL_0609 JTL_0615 JTL_0621

Uh guys, this thing is bolted down.  We have to turn these things over here!

JTL_0625 JTL_0628

The next day we were off to the Aquarium.  The aquarium was huge and by the end of the day there were A LOT of people.  We saw a dolphin show, lots of fish, and penguins!

Can you believe what we got to see?  Neither can we!

Could we all pass as Matt’s kids?

I think Autumn was trying to reach beluga whale.

See that penguin?  He wanted to catch Ry’s car.  He followed it all around the window when Ry was driving it.

Matt went in the tunnel with me and we popped out inside the penguin habitat.

We had penguin races where you had to walk with balls between your legs to walk the way penguins do.

Then we got to make frames and we even won a stuffed penguin to take home.

Look at the beautiful manta ray and whale shark.

It was such a busy day!  We had so much fun, but boy were we tired.  Ry even fell asleep walking to the car!

In January we went to Atlanta for a tradeshow.  Grandma, Grandpa, Alicia, Matt, Mom, Jeff, Caitlin, Ry, and us all stayed at a house.  Most days Mom, Grandpa, Jeff and Caitlin went to work. The rest of us got to have all the fun.  The first day without parents we went downtown and played at the park and visited the Coke Museum.  Since Mom was working Alicia took all these great pictures in Atlanta!

Watch your head grandma!  You could even bump your head on these bars!

Smile!
