A day at the zoo!

We decided to venture out to the Akron Zoo with some of our mommy friends! Callista and I figured between the two of us, we could keep our four kids contained, and if not, there would be other mom's there to take pity on us, lol! Just to give you an idea, this is how our day started...and this is just in the parking lot:



Eli was not happy about getting sunscreen on, so during this wonderful tantrum, some of it got in his eye...boy was that a fun meltdown! He finally calmed down while watching the penguins. They were actually very cute! We continued on our way and spent some time in the jellyfish exhibit. We all seemed to enjoy it, and I had no idea how many different types of jellyfish there are. Some of them were so neat looking. I was able to snap a shot of these little guys:

Then it was time for lunch. Food always seems to make Eli happy...at least for a moment! He was very entertained by the snack cup being placed on his head!

Finally, we tried to snap a shot of all of us together. A few of the girls are missing, as they were taking the pictures, but you get the idea. The babies had us outnumbered for sure! Mr. Miles is in there too...but he was in the sling, so he stayed hidden!

All in all we had a good time...even with some cranky toddlers. Our friend Jamie even made it out with her adorable triplet boys! I plan on going back at least one more time with Nader, just so Eli can walk the zoo and play in all the little kiddie sections. Callista and I weren't going to brave this on our own since we both had the babies with us as well. We're brave, but not nuts! (Although our husbands may not agree!)
