We're going to the Zoo, zoo, zoo....

What do you do when all the kids are off school the day before Thanksgiving? Lay around the house and wait for Thanksgiving to come? Noooooo! You go to the zoo! That's a great place to see real alive turkeys! Did you know that they don't really gobble? They sort of screech! We got some up close and personal time with quite a few! Our Goodman cousins came with us--what a fun day! Here's the whole gang with a gorilla! He was so good to hold still while all the kids piled on!
Lauren had so much fun she started to actually turn into a tortoise!
The mandatory picture by the gorillas, with a slightly different slant on it! Can you see everyone? Lauren, Alli, Zack, Todd, Bryan, Calvin, Tyler, Jenni and Lindsay (Jake was in his stroller!)
Lindsay and cousin Jenny really liked these tigers. He even let Lindsay pull on his ears!
This picture cracks me up--everyone is posing, but Lindsay has to read the map right now!
Calvin was pretty proud of himself when he finally tamed this wild leopard!
The whole gang again on this poor Rhino! I am surprised no one was gored!

Alli is finally coming out of her shell!

This is how Lindsay preferred to tour the zoo! Pushing poor Jake! Aunt Kanani was nice to let her help push so much!

Cool elephant pose. We were glad he wasn't squirting water, like he does in the summer!

This was a better option than cleaning the house for Thanksgiving, right?

Fun! Peter mentioned I needed to look at your zoo pictures...he loves how creative you are with your captions. Me too! Do I remember you saying something about teaching an old dog new tricks?!
