We made it in time for the Sea Lion Show. All the kids crowded around up close while Presley and I hung out in the shade. She was a little curious as to what all the hubbub was about. But mostly she just babbled in her cute little voice.
There is a Kid Zone at this Zoo complete with a ginormous tree kids can climb and explore. It's a man-made tree depicting what a tree that old would really look like. The kids had a great time exploring all the crevices.
I predicted hunger would set in just as we set foot in the park. (Have I done this before?) And I was correct in my thinking. These babies were a hit. I'm adding them to my "travel shopping list".
It was a pretty hot day. Not as humid as is typical for July, but still pretty hot. Thank goodness for the "misters" that were set up throughout the park. If the kids stood under them long enough they appeared as though they had just gotten out of the shower. Sweet relief.
While the cool mist spray worked on keeping their outsides cool, icee's the size of their heads worked on their insides.
These kids were troopers. We must have walked at least 3 miles throughout the afternoon. Little to no complaints were heard. Glorious. By the time we got back to the van we were all exhausted. Even the one that didn't even have to get out of the stroller.
The good news? I bought a family pass so we can return whenever we desire. Excellent.

I miss your darling babies! Can't wait until you get here. Looks like you found a haircut place for the boys. So cute!
Are those apple bites in individual snack packs? Are those sold by the fruit? They look like they would be glorious for my little food inhaler.
I miss you guys! I miss Presley's babbling voice. That tree sounds awesome. Sophie was so excited to see pictures of Jackson.
Sounds like fun.... that's another thing we could do while you're here. I have a zoo pass that I think can get a lot of us in!
Seriously, you took 5 kids to the zoo by yourself...... I am such a wimp! And, you rock!
Generally, moms tell their children to stay away from strange "misters" in the park who offer them refreshment. I'm glad to hear there's a much more innocent version available.
Water sprayers: good.
Creepy men with candy: bad.
Now I've got it.
I hear you are close to Kansas City, come by any time for a visit seriously!
