We weren’t even sure we were going to make the zoo part of the trip, but I am so glad we did.

The girls came up with a face paint game where everyone got assigned a design, but no one knew what the group had chosen for them until it was finished. The reactions were half the fun. Hopefully Bailee puts together the video because it was pretty hilarious.

Bailee and Savena spent a good portion of the day playing photographer and model. Honestly, the zoo is gorgeous, so I don’t blame them. Everywhere we turned felt like the perfect backdrop for photos.

The weather couldn’t have been better. It wasn’t overly hot, nobody was melting down from the heat, and somehow we survived all the walking without anyone completely losing their mind.

One of my favorite parts was getting to see not only a working bee hive but an ant colony too. The zoo also had some of the coolest creepy crawlers and insects. The girls probably could have stayed in those exhibits forever.

And then there were the pandas.

Anyone who knows me knows that was the highlight. Every person before us was trying to get a good picture, but both pandas had their faces turned away. We waited, hoping for a little luck, and right before we left, one of them turned and looked our direction just long enough for us to snap photos and grab a video of that perfect little face. It was one of those tiny moments that makes the whole day.

We also rode the Skyfari. Thyri was absolutely convinced she wasn’t going to survive the experience, but she made it across and lived to tell the tale. 😂

Just one of those days that wasn’t rushed, wasn’t stressful, and didn’t need to be anything more than making memories together. Perfect. 🖤

PS. The frog deserves his own honorable mention. While all the other frogs were hanging out together, this guy had separated himself and was living his best life in what looked like his own personal spa. Fully stretched out, completely unbothered, looking like he had absolutely nowhere to be and no responsibilities waiting for him.

He is me, and I am him. 😂
