This morning Gracie and Kia were both pretty cranky. Both a little emotional and quick to cry. So I decided to do what any good mother/aunt would do... I took them to the zoo! Well. actually, at first I decided I wasn't going to take them "someplace fun" as Gracie calls our adventures, but then I realized that a morning of fighting over dress up clothes and baby dolls was probably worse than a couple of crankies at the zoo. So after Natalie awoke from her morning nap, we took our picnic lunch and headed for the zoo. It was a beautiful day and both big girls were super excited!
Because I don't have a double stroller and because the strollers at the zoo are so ideal for little ones who like to get in and out, in and out, in and out, I decided to rent a double stroller for the big girls. I used the Moby to wear Natalie and packed a backpack of all the necessities. I definitely got my workout in between a 20 lb baby strapped to my front and a 10 lb backpack strapped to my back, not to mention pushing the 2 toddlers in the stroller. But honestly, it was the most fun morning! Everyone was very content and almost no tears. All the animals were out enjoying the lovely weather, like we were. We enjoyed the train and carousel rides, a picnic lunch, and exploring Africa. It was a fantastic morning for me and all three of my ladies! We're going to head back again sometime soon to see Australia! Here are few pictures from our day.

Looks like a fun filled day!
Those are some pretty cute kids! I'm looking forward to more nice days with those kids (and one school-ager)!
