Our last zoo day of the year

We had a great day at the zoo today it was so much fun. We couldn't of asked for better weather. We knew that it was suppose to be 65 degree's so we didn't take jackets and then when we pulled into the zoo we noticed that everyone else had jackets. At first we were like oh no! But then we started unloading the stroller/bags/kids and it was plenty warm. We had a blanket in the van that we took with us just in case. Thankfully we didn't really need it I only used it to cover Caden when He feel asleep. I can't remember the last time I went to the zoo it's been a while so although I had to pack the kids lunches because of their food allergies I got my taco salad it was so good. I love taco salad's well I love the stuff in the middle I never eat the shell for some reason the stuffin' is just too yummy I guess. We took the kids to see a whole lot of animals but the coolest I thought was the new red panda's I have never seen them there before so I am assuming they are new. They were so cute climbing on their tree playground :) The kids also loved riding on the kids train and carousel with Anthony and I and we enjoyed it also. We ended the zoo trip with the kids playing on the playground a perfect way in all our opinions to end. Then home for naps. . .great day :)
I am so thankful for the time I have gotten to spend with my husband this last week and a half. Maybe because the kids are getting a little older and it is easier to actually spend time together and talk. I have got to say that the time we have spent together has been the most amazing time for our whole family. I don't think we have ever spent so much time together in one period really being a family ever. I know that is partly because the kids are getting older making it fun to play games, watch movies and do other activities together. I also know that we are just making family time more of a priority as parents because as we look at our children they are growing up way too fast!
On another note our little puppy is doing great. I am hoping that she is fully house broken very very soon. But she is healthy and happy and oh so cute! I started working on getting her to sit last night and then tonight when I did it she was sitting by herself for the treats. I think we have a pretty smart puppy on our hands :)
Well I am going to close for now. I hope you all have a happy new year. Please take a minute to check out my slide show from the zoo today and my short little video of Caden saying "wow!" as he walked at the zoo.
