The kids have been wanting to go to the Zoo for a long time. When they found out Kefford and I went for our anniversary there was a lot of no ways and no fairs going on. So I texted my good friend Candice to see if she and her kids wanted to join us and planned a date for the Zoo.
We arrived about half an hour before Candice and her kids were due to arrive so we found a spot by the rose gardens and ate our picnic lunch. Then the kids ran around and let out some energy while we waited. Finally our friends came and it was off to the Zoo.

We paid a little bit extra with our admission so that we could go into the butterfly exhibit. When Avynlea went to the Zoo on a field trip with her class she was so disappointed that they did not get to go see the butterflies. So for Avynleas sake I let the kids go. It was really hot and super crowded inside the exhibit but the kids enjoyed the butterflies. Rylee got a little sad because Ryker and Kenedy had butterflies land on them and she could not get any on her. But she got over it pretty quick and was able to get up close to some.

The kids thought it was pretty cute when it was pointed out by Avynlea that she and Rylee were both wearing butterfly shirts.
A good time was had by all!
