Free zoo day

We went to the zoo for Martin Luther King Jr. day (it's free on certain holidays). I guess I didn't learn my lesson from Free Museum Day... I had all four kids plus Matty, without Tim (who was sick in bed), and ended up parking over a mile away because it was so crowded. Somehow we got there (relying on strangers for directions since I had no idea where we parked in relation to the zoo), caught glimpses of our favorite animals, and trudged back to the van. It was definitely a good workout! I was thankful that the kids did pretty well walking so much and that there weren't any big meltdowns. We did enjoy being together and seeing the big animals. Although, I might have to give in and buy a membership pass soon!
