MADE IT!!!

WE MADE IT!!! Left Youngstown, OH around 7:30 after a quick Dunkin Donuts breakfast which made all of us smile to start the day. We headed to the Toledo to check out their zoo, IT WAS HUGE. Emma & I must have walked miles from one end to the other. Fantastic exhibits, but felt bad we were there three hours, rushing around and we still only saw half the zoo. We went on a nice train ride through the safari and on a fun African animal merry go round with beautifully carved animals. The kids favorites were the hippos, elephants, polar bears, and orangutans.
Trying to take pictures while making sure not to loose a child was my challenge at the zoo, took a few pictures then decided to keep both eyes on the kids and take mental pictures instead :)
After the zoo I was sure both kids would take fantastic naps in the car, Wil slept for about and hour and Emma didn't sleep at all :) but were both good and watched movies for the 5+ hour drive. The kids were so happy to be at Dan and Bete's house and torn into the toys bins in minutes and just played for a few hours before bed.

Here are some of our zoo pictures
