Fun at the Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa!

Jackson had two weeks off of school for spring break and so we didn't have any speech therapy on Thursdays.  My mom was so excited because she actually wanted to do something with the kids instead of babysit the kids like usual while I take Jack to therapy.  We went to the Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium.  It was awesome.  I loved it.  They had a great petting zoo, train, skylifts, a giraffe feeding area, stingray petting area and a lot of other really neat things.  The exhibits were excellent too.  You could actually see the animals really well.  The kids had a blast!  They were exhausted when we got home.  We got some great pictures and a really cute video of Caden petting the stingrays.  There is a lot of echoing on the video, but if you listen close you can hear Cadens cute little laugh.  He thought it was awesome.  The other two weren't quite sure about petting those weird looking things.
