Edmonton Valley Zoo

Yesterday was Free Admissions Day in Edmonton. So I decided that it was a good excuse to head up to the city. I was able to take Ezra along with us. He is such a good help and mediator with my kids. They all got along really great! We were able to stop for lunch with some friends from College and catch up a bit. The kids filled themselves up with tacos and cookies! Then we headed to the zoo!

This is how the kids rode around for 50% of the day! Ezra was a trooper and squished in behind Coop.

Watching the sea otters! Cooper loved it! 

In the new Arctic area! They are doing lots of renovations in the zoo, but had tons of new exhibits open already!

Playing with the whale bones!

In the summertime tundra! 

Coloring at the Red Panda exhibit!

Can you find Ezra?!

The carousel was a great way to end our busy day!

They certainly adore each other!

Do do do Dora...

We gave Sawyer tickets to Dora the explorer for her birthday in June. September 28th finally came. So Sawyer and her cousin Rynn headed to Dora! First stop, lunch at DQ!

Waiting for Dora to start!

Yay Dora!

Swiper no swiping!

Sorry for the quality of pictures. They are from my phone. 

Sawyers first day of preschool!

When Mommy naps...

Sawyer decided that this was a good idea. I'm just disappointed that she enjoyed cleaning it off the walls.

A day at the beach

Whilst in Manitoba we did many an activity. And Sunday was no exception. We headed off to the beach for the day! It was a beautiful day and the kids had a blast with their Aunties, Uncles and Grandparents.

Cooper on a boat for the first time!

Sawyer taking a stroll with Great Grandma! She sure loves her Great Grandma
