Sean told me that this was the "most beeee-youtiful" clock he'd ever seen!
The next morning we had bagels and fruit while we got ready to go to the ZOO!
Oh boy, the kids were really excited to take a train and get to the zoo to see all sorts of animals! BUT by the time we got to the zoo's gates...
...both kids were asleep!
After a little while, the babies woke up and after eating a little lunch, it was time to see the animals!
Panda bears! Clare was so excited to show the pandas her new lunch bag - decorated with a panda!
The kids were excited to see elephants - since the Philly zoo does not have elephants, we missed out on watching these guys last year. Sean thought seeing the elephants pooping was hilarious and yet slightly horrifying - oh, to be a four-year-old boy!
Sean had so much fun running around the meerkats' glass - literally! It was hard to tell if Sean was running after the meerkat or if it was the other way around.
Sill kids!
And a family shot with a sleeping Clare :-)
