Splish Splash

On Thursday it was once again very hot so the boys and I went to the Sprayground - a playground with sprinklers. The boys weren't to sure of it at first. They would barely get their hands in it. Eventually Tyler warmed up some, but he never ran all the way through them. Carter would have rather played on the real playground equipment than in the sprinklers. The also had a really fun tunnel that both boys loved going in again and again and again. All in all it was a great time and we plan on going back again soon.

Today we went to the zoo and it was the perfect day for it. It wasn't crowded at all and the weather was very nice and cool. Almost all the animals were out and playing. Of course we fed the giraffes, and we also let the boys go on pony rides. They really loved it - although I think during the time Tyler was scared to death.

The best part of the trip tho was seeing the hippos. Of course Tyler remembered to wear his hippo shirt so he was so excited to see them. They were outside and just getting into their pool when we came back to see them the second time (they were eating breakfast the first time). One hippo had a 60 gallon plastic jug that she carried into the pool and then splashed around in the water with it. She was swimming all over the pool and even ran into another hippo a couple times since she was going fast. We even got splashed by the hippo a couple times -so much fun to see!! At the very end of our trip we saw the elephants and they were also in the pool. None of us had ever seen elephants swimming before and it was fun to watch. We had such a great day together - I love days like these!

Tonight is another big night for Tyler - picture and details to come soon.
