We saw the lions, tigers, and monkeys before heading over to the Childrens' Zoo and the merry-go-round. At first, Eliska was the only one who answered yes to riding the carousel. Marco went to go take her and then, Andrew changed his mind and said he wanted to ride too. So, we bought our tickets and went to go find Eliska and Marco. We were all sitting on the chariot when Gareth and Kristi found us. Apparently after we all left, Gareth changed his mind too. Got to love peer pressure!! But it was cute with everyone sitting together on the chariot.
After, we took the kids to the playground where they played for a good while. But Andrew decided he had had enough and wanted to go the petting zoo. I took him there while Gareth and Eliska finished playing at the playground. But they soon joined us and all the kids had fun brushing and petting the animals. Then, Eliska's mom, Mary, had finished her training early and was able to meet up with us. So, we let the kids play on the playground again while we waited until she could come find us.
Andrew had seen the train when we arrived at the zoo and kept hearing its whistle every now and then. He kept asking for it over and over again. The other parents took pity on him and said that they would be happy to ride it with us too. Lucky for Andrew that Gareth and Eliska both like trains!
After the train ride, we decided to go to lunch at Black Walnut in Rice Village. The kids did great behaving and eating nicely. I was totally impressed and proud of our kids!!! Eliska had to go home and take a nap, but Kristi and I stayed to have some gelato with the kids. After that, we called it a day and headed home to put our boys to sleep.
It was a wonderful time; we both had lots of fun! Mommy loves getting to talk to other adults...and not always just about the kids! Andrew and I really are very lucky to have met some really great people while at Gymboree and made some new friends.
