KC Zoo with the Grandkids

Saturday was a terrific day in Kansas City to take the kids to the Zoo. The day started out a little chilly (it was in the mid to upper 50's) with a few rain drops from time to time, but the Meteorologists predicted a sunny, much warmer day by mid afternoon.
Addison was going to spend the night with us. We had to be by to pick her up by 8:30am to give Colby plenty of time to get to work. Addison was packed and had a great big smile on her face for us. You really can't see it on any of the pictures...as you can see, she's always very serious!
We went by to pick up Morgan around 9am, then off to McDonald's for breakfast (it wasn't my idea - just ask the girls).


It's been a while since we've been to the Zoo. Kansas City, over the years, have made a number of great changes/additions. We were pretty much the first folks in the Zoo that morning - it was still pretty cool. We rented a wagon to pull the kids around in. Addison was content to sit in it and be pulled from location to location. Morgan wanted to go where she wanted, so she walked most of the way.



Addison enjoyed the camels (as you can see in the previous picture where she was amazed by them). Morgan liked the kangaroos because they are able to roam free over the Austrailia exhibit of the Zoo. Numerous times, they crossed our paths as we were walking along. Around 2pm, the temps were around 60-65 degrees and we started shedding jackets.



This was Addison on the way to the Zoo...trying to be stylish and well equipped for anything the Zoo had to throw her way. Half way through the visit, she curled up in the bottom of the wagon and took a well deserved nap.





Morgan was a big help to us as we made our way through the Zoo. She held Addison's attention and helped to keep her occupied as we ventured from site to site. All in all, it was a great way to spend the day with the grandkids!
