Richmond Zoo

Monday we all decided that a trip to the Richmond Zoo would be fun. It is the cutest little zoo and we had a wonderful time!

Kiddos checking out the animals

Cutest baby monkey ever.

The gang

Baby Orangutan

Liam, Amelia, Colby, and Aunt Mindy

Amelia dragging Colby along.  She was actually very sweet with him.

When we were checking out the Rhinos it was a perfect time for a group picture.  It was the best one we got which I think is pretty good (considering Chris controlled the camera remotely using an app)!

Liam pushing Brady and Colin

All Colin wanted to do was feed the giraffes, which is about half way into the zoo.  He was ecstatic once it was finally time to see the giraffes.

They all loved it

Colin would have stayed all day if we had let him

Amelia was a little more nervous about it.

Talking about how they ate all his food.

Then we bought some bird food and went to feed the birds

Liam thought that it was pretty cool

Kiddos and birds

Amelia was interested but once they landed she became a little nervous

After all the feedings it was time to feed ourselves, the kids ate and played in a play area.  It was a little rough to eat because there were a thousand bees but we made it through.  Next up was the train ride.

Happy boys

The kids loved the train and then it was some more walking...or being carried if you're Amelia

Baby peacocks

Chris seeing how far he can jump compared to other animals

After the zoo we took the kids to a park.

Colin enjoyed being spider man

They all had a good time

Amelia enjoyed spinning in circles

Grandma even got in on the action

Then the tire swing was discovered.

Amelia, Anderson, and Liam taking a turn

Liam climbing on top of everything, ha!

Here are a few videos from the park

We ended up saying our good-byes to the Ives at the park.  All six kiddos were pretty exhausted.  So we grabbed a bite and went back to Aunt Mindy and Uncle Randy's to pack up for the rest of our adventures.
