One of the fun things about being on maternity leave during the holidays is getting to attend play dates! The neighbors and I decided to take the kids to the zoo one day over the break. I was a little hesitant giving Trace’s history in public, but I figured I had a whole team of awesome ladies to help me out! We loaded up snacks, lunch, 9 kids, 4 adults and headed out. It was a great day for the zoo. There was an overcast and the weather was cool/breezy. All of the animals were out and alert. It was great! We even got to see the lions put on a show! I have never seen the lions do anything except lay around because it’s so hot when we go over the summer. I am so happy we decided to go. It was great to have a change of scenery for us and the kids!
How sweet that they are all holding hands!

Sweet little Trace did great! He only had a couple of melt downs and slept most of the trip!
