Blank Park Zoo

We headed to the zoo this morning. Mom has been up here a few days this week helping paint at Sara's house, so today we invited Haydn to come along and play with us so she wouldn't be stuck at her house in all the mess! :) Dad happened to be up also so he came along with Stella, Porter, Haydn and I to the zoo. It was a great morning for the zoo and the animals were pretty active.

Crossing the swinging bridge.
Checking out the jelly fish.

Getting a pic of them from the other side of the jellyfish tank.
Checking out the flamingos.
Feeding the animals at the petting zoo. Haydn wouldn't feed them! Stella and Porter love the petting zoo.
This photo cracks me up of Haydn! The tiger kept coming RIGHT up to the glass and the kids would scream in glee! It was hysterical!
Stella and Haydn had so much fun with the hand dryer in the bathroom! It doesn't take much to entertain them!!!! :)
And the BIGGEST and BEST news of the day!!!! Porter went #2 on the potty---FINALLY! He is now TOTALLY potty trained!!!!! He's been doing great the last 6 weeks, apart from going #2 on the potty but today he did it and there is no looking back! I've had these whistle suckers tucked away as his "surprise" for going on the potty. They all thought they were very cool! Luckily they came in a pack of 4 since Haydn was here for the BIG DAY! :) So glad that my little boy is potty trained! Can I get a "woot, woot"!!!!!! Here they are playing some tunes on their whistle suckers!
Stella and Haydn all dressed up with no place to go since Porter is napping now we are stuck at home! :)
