Friday at the Zoo

This past week, we tried out a new hairdo, and the girls and I really love it!  Usually, the girls have worn barrettes, and I never could get a rubber band to stay in, but I bought some smaller rubber bands and now it worked. 
 On Friday, we took a trip to the zoo with my friend and her two boys, and the weather was just perfect.  The zoo is actually an animal sanctuary, so we saw all the animals, had a quick snack lunch, and rode the train all in under three hours!  The girls loved the animals, but they love to copy their friends and tried to climb the fences at every exhibit. 
 I love this zoo because the animals are so close.  Maybe too close!
 I am not zooming my camera at all - this tiger was probably six feet away.
 Same with the lioness - so close!
 The girls got to feed the goats and sheep, but they forgot to let go of the food, so both of them got their entire hand into a couple of the goat's mouth and that was a little scary!
 These little boys, Zander and Maddox, are the girls' close friends - we do so much together all the time!  One time someone asked if the younger boy was a triplet with the girls because they are all the exact same height and kind of look like siblings with their big brown eyes.

What a great start to the weekend - the zoo is one of our favorites.
