Tuesday at the Zoo

The girls have been asking to go to the zoo for awhile.  I'm not brave enough to take my three little monkeys to the zoo alone, so what better time to go then when their Nanny is here visiting.  Of course, our zoo in Honolulu is nothing compared to the zoo in St Louis that Madeleine is use to.  Here, it's much smaller and it costs money to get in.  With that said, the girls love going and it's the perfect size zoo for little kids to be able to enjoy the entire place.  

Riley had to get up on every ledge and peek over the fences to get the best view possible.  She was loving every exhibit we went to.  

Hadley is now fascinated with alligators and crocodiles(or crocodonalds as she calls them).  She has been since she'd watch the show Swamp People with Trey about catching gators.  Here she is, face all up against the glass, staring hard at the alligators in the water.  She didn't want to leave.

One of the best parts of the zoo is the fact they have a kid zoo.  Riley loves to look at the fish.  And one of their favorite parts is getting to pet the goats.  I'm not a fan of entering that exhibit, so I volunteered Madeleine to go in with Riley & Hadley while I waited outside of the gate with Emrey.  

We all had a great morning at the zoo.  The girls were so well behaved the entire time.  I was so impressed.  I was even more impressed that I was able to get Hadley to use a public restroom.  She's doing wonderfully with being potty trained in that aspect!  The girls were worn out on the ride home.  Emrey didn't take a morning nap and was out in the first two minutes we were in the car.  Hadley quickly followed.
