zoo day

For one of Jon's "flex days" in April (he works a schedule where he gets every other Friday off, it's the BEST) we decided to head to the National Zoo for the kids to soak up some animal sightings in person. Apparently when we go to the zoo now, though, the only animals we take pictures of are our own. The cute little blonde ones. They may not be quite as entertaining as the zebra fight we almost got to see (hearing it one exhibit down was almost as cool as seeing it firsthand), but they definitely beat out the sleeping lions and 300-feet-away-from-the-fence elephants. These kids could run after, climb on, and conquer everything in sight all. day. long. Sometimes their energy baffles me, but then Jon will tell me he and his brothers were the exact same way, so I can't be too surprised. Our kids are true Smiths!
