On Friday, Jonathan took the day off and the four of us headed to the zoo for our PeeWee School fall field trip! A cool front came through the night before, so we donned our fall gear and went out to see some animals. I guess the animals were enjoying the cooler weather, I have never seen so many of them out in the open areas...Caleb loved it!

 |
| We stopped by the aquarium first...it was warmer in there : ) |
 |
| Next we stopped by the cats...I couldn't believe how close they were, most of the time they are hidden in the rocks. |
 |
| This pretty girl woke up just long enough to glance our way before dozing back off. |
 |
| Happy Aaron |
 |
| Hard to tell, but there were two beautiful clouded leopard cubs playing together! They were all over their exhibit chasing each other...adorable! I'm so glad we timed our visit to see them, they arrived earlier in the week from two other zoos. |

| Aaron eating...his typical activity |
 |
| My guys |
 |
| Had to get a Dora picture! (No, we didn't see the movie...Caleb didn't realize that's what the sign was for and we weren't about to tell him!) |
 |
| African drums at the African Forest |
 |
| Aaron was really excited about the baby giraffe |
 |
| Both boys liked the huge tortoise |
 |
| Daddy and two boys! |

 |
| The zoo has had a Dinosaur exhibit for several months. I'm glad we though to go this time, it's now gone! Today was it's last day before being packed up to move on. It featured life-size animatronic dinosaurs. Caleb was a little timid around the "scary" ones. The brachiosaurus was much taller than Caleb! |
 |
| As we came around the corner to the T-Rex, Caleb tried to hide behind our legs...that one was "too scary." |
 |
| While on our way to the exit from the dinosaur exhibit, we ran into Caleb's friends, Samir and Ava. Here they are walking with Mrs. Sonia |

 |
| Cutie pie right before we left - he was exhausted but still in good spirits. |
While we were at the zoo, GG called and asked if she and Papa could do their annual pumpkin patch visit with the boys. Last year they only took Caleb so it was easy for to switch his car seat over. Instead of fighting with both car seats this year, we decided to just meet them there. We drove home from the zoo, had about an hour to rest and then went back out for some pumpkin searching.

| Hanging out in the pumpkins...such a cutie! |
We had an amazing fall day between the zoo and the pumpkin patch! I'm so glad Jonathan could take off and join us!
