Family Day at the Zoo

Our Brevard County Zoo is just so awesome. I love it there. The kids love it because it is just the perfect size that you can see everything in an hour or so and then spend another hour or so in the splash area and call it a day. So nice. =) We decided a family visit was in order since Paul hadn't been yet and since Matteo always seemed to fall asleep by the time we made it to the splash area. It was a great way to spend a Saturday morning during 4th of July weekend!

Our family.

With Daddy.

Matteo is finally interested in the animals. Except he calls them all "dog" or "duck." His favorites.

He was Daddy's buddy that day.

Finally having fun in the splash pool!

He was loving the water that day. It was hot, but cloudy so it wasn't too bad.

The battle for Matteo to wear a hat outdoors continues.

"Matteo, the hat stays on your head. Please don't take it off." (note the scowl...)

Okay, fine, but only if I can wear it like this so it doesn't interfere with my line of sight. Or block the sun....ugh!

And you can see who won that battle....
(but hey, everyone had a good day and that's what matter's in the end, right?!)
