Zoo Fun!

We hosted the Wheeler September event at the Atlanta Zoo.  The weather was perfect and everyone had fun.  Since it was Labor Day our group was smaller than usual but that just meant less people to  keep up with in the crowds!  Since we had a smaller group I decided to give the kids zoo goodie boxes.  The boxes had animal print sunglasses, binoculars, zoo tattoos, zoo stickers, zoo colors and coloring book, zoo bubbles, and a zoo sucker.  I think they were a hit!

Check out those cute kids!

Doesn't it look like Bree and John Henry are holding hands?

Mason, Buie, Charley, Avery, and Haley.

John Henry enjoyed the zoo although I don't think he really cared about seeing the animals.  I think he had more fun watching the kids run around.

Sweet Caroline!

Now that Hunter is mobile he was all over the place.  John Henry was so jealous...

Adorable, isn't she?

I don't think John Henry knew what to make of the gorilla.

One of the big hits of the day were these giant fans blowing cool mist out on the crowd.  We parked John Henry and Bree in front of them and they thought it was awesome.  They put their arms up in the air like they were riding a roller coaster together.  So cute!

Avery and Hunter were also big fans!

When it was time for the kids to ride the train we bailed and went to the petting zoo.  John Henry really liked the goats, although I'm sure he thinks they were just big dogs. 

The next morning John Henry opened his zoo box.  I was so busy passing them out to the other kids that I forgot to give him one at the zoo. 

The binoculars lasted for all of two seconds before he broke the string.

The sunglasses were a bigger hit until he tried to gag himself with them.  Oh well, at least it was cute for a moment.
