Rollin' With My Boys

To celebrate the end of summer and Garret's upcoming adventure to kindergarten, Ike, Garret and I took a little trip to Salina to visit the Rolling Hills Zoo. At first I wasn't really sure what I had gotten myself into...did I bite off more than I could chew? The answer is surprisingly...No! We had a great time, the boys got along so well (not that I'm too surprised) and the zoo was a big hit with G-man.


The Kids Corral was fun. We fed a cow and best of all played on the tractor...for a really long time. It was probably a good thing that some other kids came to play on the tractor, otherwise I'm pretty sure we would still be there right now!


The next big hit was the tunnel. Now, Isaac wasn't so sure about the whole thing. He got closer...


and closer. Garret tried and tried to persuade him to crawl in the tunnel.


But it took a little extra special convincing...Mom crawling in the tunnel first. Thankfully there are no photos of that...the camera was in the stroller on the other end of the tunnel! Since Ike was crawling in behind me, I was a little terrified that he would get spooked, back out and head for the other end of the zoo, all while Mom was stuck inside the tunnel! Thankfully that didn't happen. We all three made it to the highlight of the tunnel...you pop-up in a little glass box right in the middle of the coati exhibit. That was pretty cool, but a little on the hot side, so I turned tail and headed out. But before we moved on, I caught a few pics of G-man in the exhibit, or as he said "in the zoo!"


All in all it was a great day. The boys and I were pretty darn tired, and needless to say it was a really quiet ride home!
