Dinos at the zoo! Part 2

Here are some more pictures from our day at the zoo on Saturday!

Styracosaurus

Kentrosaurus

Suchomimus

Megalosaurus

Allosaurus

At the end of the dinosaur exhibit, they had a little educational area for the kids. 


Leonard wanted a dinosaur of his own!

This weekend, they also had their indoor theaters open for free!  That saved us another $12.  One theater was  a ride simulator but Malachi was too small for it and I was afraid that Alyssa would be scared.  The other theater was showing a Dora show in 3D/4D.  We opted for the more kid-friendly one. 





Very successful Saturday morning zoo trip! Makes me want to watch some Jurassic park movies and some Dinosaur Train!

Dinos at the Zoo! Part 1

On Saturday the kids, hubby and I decided to take a trip to the Detroit Zoo.  We have a membership (since we live like 15 minutes away!) and the kids love it there!  The zoo currently has a dinosaur exhibit that is there until mid-September and I have been wanting to take the kids.  I really wanted Leonard to come along also just in case it was too scary for them and one of us had to make a quick exit.  This weekend, the dinosaur exhibit was free, normally $4 a person.  Since that was the case, I decided that this weekend was the weekend to go.  It saved us $12!

hairstyle #4 and the zoo

Here is today's hairstyle:

Today's hairstyle was super easy and took me less than 10 minutes.  I took a chunk of hair on each side and braided it, one side at a time.  Then met them in the middle and joined them with a hair tie.  I am trying out styles that are quick and easy so I can do them in the morning while my children are playing or finishing up breakfast. 

Today we went to the zoo.  My kids love the zoo and we go there often, with friends and by ourselves.  Today we met up with my friend who is leaving for Hawaii soon.  Her husband has a job there so they are moving at the end of the month.  It was great to see her one last time before she left.
