Kansas City Trip-Day 1...Zoooooooo

We recently took a trip to the KC area and had a blast. We had planned to do a "mini-vacation" or weekend getaway in July but things didn't work out like we had planned. We finally decided to just make the time and go for the weekend. It was amazing and we had a blast. The hotel we stayed at only had a king bed so we were nervous...but it ended up being perfect. There was a small mattress from a pull out couch, we ended up putting that in the large closet for Megan to sleep on. Emily was sleeping in her swing and Jacob was in the bed with us. That boy moves everywhere at night so he couldn't have handled being in a bed without someone on both sides! For much of the night his head was on my back/neck and his feet were on Michael! The "heated" outdoor pool didn't work out but we made the best of it!

The first day we went to the zoo and had a blast. Here are a few of those pics!

My new favorite pic! I knew it would be when I bribed the kids with cotton candy if they would hold hands and walk!
Same picture in color. This bridge was in "Africa"!


Posing with the kiddos on the hippo!
Kids up on the fence looking at the rhino's!

My view...Jacob wanting up!

Emily is such a good baby! She traveled to KC and back so well! And she's so pleasant to be around! Here she is slobbering on Megan's sunglasses!
Daddy and the kids waiting for the train to get there!
Megan posing in front of the polar bear tank!
Look closely and you can see the giant polar bear. She was doing laps and faces the wall then pushed off backwards from the wall, we could have watched just this all day!
At the zoo they had petal tractors for the kids to ride and they had a blast!

Here is Jacobs first train ride! We loved it! He says "All aboard...cchhhhhh"

Had to bribe them to hold hands. Chocolate works better by the way. Love the little tractors
