It's Wild Out There!

Animal Planet came to town and we couldn't resist taking our own little "wild things" there! Collin heard us talk just several times and was adamant about going to the "EXPO!" How many three year olds walk around using words like that!?! So, without further ado, here are the pics from our time at Coachman Park in Clearwater- braving the insane heat and hundreds of pets!! (And if you know me, you understand what an adventure that was!! Especially when one out of control dog got his leash all tangled up around my feet! Sympathy laughs are all that are accepted!!) I guess it's true, you really will do anything for your children!

We had to take this pic for Collin and Griff- they just love those puffer fish, thanks to Finding Nemo!

The boys had been waiting in line for so long, getting ready to jump...

But both of them needed a little push to get in...

Griffin, however, shy child that he is, decided that he didn't need to move from this spot for the entire time!

See!! He's still there! (And completely content I might add!)

Eden had a great time watching all the hustle and bustle of children and stayed nice and semi cool with her big old hat!

Collin attempted to get the ball in the hole...

...but it was Griffin who succeeded!

Our little Meerkats!

The boys enjoying their first lollipops- ever!! I was so worried about them biting it off and choking that they became paranoid about their licking- just check out those tongues!

Collin wanted to go through the crocodile obstacle course all by himself! Here is his daddy providing all the encouragement he needed!

You can just barely see his head in this pic, as he slides down!

He made it!!

And of course, what boy doesn't want to jump for joy at such an accomplishment?!

Ring the dog game...

Can you see the flying animals!?
You know Rahul had to help with that one!!

All in all we had a great time! The boys could not have enjoyed themselves more and were begging to go back soon after- but I was more pleased with the view we got as we walked back to our car:
