Wild Animals at the Zoo


With wild animals who eat like this, sometimes it feels like we're living in a zoo. But we still took the kids to see the real deal over the weekend... a spur-of-the-moment trip that included six Theta Xi families and an untold (okay, 14) number of kids.


We managed to make our way around the zoo with this unwieldy, crazy-hyper group, without losing anyone... although we did come close. Both of the families with three kids lost track of their middle for a brief moment... oops. Luckily Clara is used to this by now.













We saw the tigers, elephants, monkeys, snakes, lizards, zebras and lions like regular folk, but then texted Aunt Meredith's friend Amy to see if she was at work that day and could fit in a behind-the-scenes giraffe feeding. I don't know if she knew quite what she was getting into, but she was an awesome sport, and the kids loved getting up close and personal with her gorgeous animals!
