Zoo Day!

A week or so back, mom and I took the boys to the Forest Park Zoo in Springfield. It's a small zoo - almost like a big petting zoo - but PERFECT for a nice little trip with the boys. They LOVED it! Jake was a wee bit intimidated by how close some of the animals were - but Justin just ate it up.

Since the boys were so good, we stopped for a little ice cream snackie before we hit the road. Justin shared a watermelon fruit pop with me.

While Jake rapidly consumed his chocolate ice cream bar.
