e-ephants and rafs

This is what was being chanted around the Brewer house this morning when we told Brady we were going to the ZOO!!  Also known as Elephants and Giraffes for those of you still wondering!  We decided to take advantage of Mommy’s second to last day of summer and meet the Cole Clan at the zoo.  We got there as soon as it opened, visited our favorite animals, played in the water, rode the carousel,  rode the train, and topped it off with a picnic lunch!  We had a great time!

Hannah decided to take off her flip flops once she got into the water park.  The problem being the water washed her shoe under the bridge onto the drain.  Poor uncle Jeff was sent in to rescue the shoe!!July 233
