Everyone needs to be spoiled

before school starts. So A and I took a day off this week so we could do something together as a family. We went to the zoo, of course. I always feel annoyed with the people that are there without kids, standing in front of the animals, too tall for the kids to be able to see. Then I realized that, even before we had kids, we used to go to the zoo for A's birthday. People with kids probably wondered what we were doing there too!

Anyway, our zoo membership is expiring soon, a sad day that will be, so we are trying to take advantage of it while we can. 
In 2009
In 2011. Look how they've grown. :(
We HAD to see the bats. Gross!
Always popular with the boys. They were the last kids that were let through the line.  
After the zoo, we had lunch at Red Robin. Yum! We missed G and M though. It wasn't quite the same. They always take us to Red Robin. :( We miss you!

Then W had football practice. Wow they work them hard. That'll be for a whole other post.
No way that shirt's too little... or holey... LOTS of wear left...
You can't end a spoiling day without ice cream! We went to a little local ice cream shop after football. It was super yummy! The perfect ending to the day.
