Fair, Adventureland & the Zoo

Excited to meet Clifford

Ice Cream!

Going down the big slide with Dad.

Enjoying some deep fried Oreos. My favorite.

Adventureland

The kids didn't go on a ton of rides but the ones they rode they loved. They especially loved the water park.

Zoo

The kids favorite part of the zoo was the giraffes. There was one giraffe that was trying so hard to get leaves from the trees. Then the kids got to feed the giraffes lettuce. Lahna talked about the giraffes and getting to feed it lettuce for weeks after.
