Family at the zoo

This sign says "Did you know an average four-year-old child asks 437 questions a day". Yes, I know that well. Poor Jill said that four three-year-olds ask over 1,000 questions a day.

Girls on the train around the zoo.

Boys on the train. They are definitely big buddies.

We were obsessed with these penguins. At first we thought this one was in time out, then we realized he had his nose against an air vent. Another one had his wing lifted with his armpit to a vent.

This was just the first section of the penguin exhibit. It was so cool!

This is not with any zoom--I could have touched the penguin. In fact, when they waddled over to the water and jumped in, we got splashed with cold water.

This rarely happened...

Dressing up like a character from the Magic Tree House

Signing her name on the chalkboard at the Magic Tree House exhibit. She also wrote a poem and put it on the giant Poet Tree in the lobby of the museum.

This picture does not show how funny this scene was. In the part of the museum with the fishing hole, there was a little stream that flowed under glass through the room. Kate absolutely freaked out and would not step on the glass. She would follow the path around the room but stop and scream anytime she noticed the water.

There was a Magic Treehouse Exhibit that had adventures from the series of books. This was an old horse and buggy they could steer.

David was very amused by his competitive son playing a board game

cute kids!

the triplets loved Kate--she was definitely their favorite thing at the zoo. Jill had to keep telling them to come look at the animals and stop playing with the baby. Kate loved getting the attention--and the treats the girls snuck her (her new obsession is anything with a straw--juice box, cup at a restaraunt).

Clearly, I was amazed by the climbing goats

Isn't this hysterical?
