Andy had one more day of vacation to use in July so we thought we should take advantage. Friday we went to Sioux Falls to yet another zoo this summer.
We started with a picnic at a park, followed by a hot and steamy walk around the zoo.
We spent the most time at the giraffes and petting zoo area...these are always favorite spots for our family at zoos.
We just couldn't get close enough to the giraffes so these 3 were trying to peek in through the fence.
Bennett was very into the animals this time - it's amazing how much he changes every month.
He really liked watching the monkeys swing around too - laughing at them when they would tumble down.
Both kids liked to climb on the animal statues in the shade. This little boy will smile at anyone he sees...especially girls. I am already nervous about his teen/college years.
We decided we needed to cool off so we went over to Falls Park to wade in the water and eat ice cream.
Once again - these kiddos splashed around. They love the water and I think they always will.
Marie loved climbing on the rocks and did so without any hesitation. She is a monkey at heart sometimes and I think it's just a matter of time before her brother is running after her.
We also made it to the pool this weekend, went to the lake to let Gus run around, and did some shopping.
On Sunday we couldn't find Marie until we checked her room - sound asleep at 5:00.
All in all it was an exhausting but fun weekend at home with the family!
