With the long weekend Adam decided we needed a little quality family time, so I talked it over with Jacqueline and explained that if she could handle a long car ride we could go see some animals. We go to John Ball Zoo all the time but I had heard Binder was bigger and very different, (Jackie went with Oma, Raylee, Aaron and Chelsea last summer.)
Early saturday morning we drove to the Zoo, and it was well worth it. Jacqueline and Grace both loved the open tram drive to the wild Africa exhibit, but the best part by far was the Giraffes. Adam held Jackie while she feed them lettuces leaves, Jackie is still talking about how their big tongue licked her hand.
We also played in the children's zoo, Jacqueline loved the rabbit holes that let you tunnel under the turtle and rabbit exhibit and pop out in the middle. She was not so sure about the petting zoo, she just wanted to look and not touch. Of course we did ride the carousal too. (She wanted to ride the Giraffe but some boys beat us to it so we settled for the big pink flamingo.)
It was fun to play all together for the day. Both girls took turns in the stroller and in both mom and dad's arms. We saw a lot of the animals, and both girls came home tired and took good naps.
