I had Friday off from work for the 4th of July so we thought we would go to the zoo. We have been talking about going for a while but we were not sure if Miles was old enough to get anything out of going, but he had a blast.
We stopped at the monkeys first and he laughed at them and thought they were pretty cool. It was pretty hot so most of the animals were trying to keep cool. The bears were so cute they were playing in their pool and wrestling, Miles was excited about that.
Miles loved the giraffes they were so pretty and he has never seen anything like that before.

Tiffany and James came with us and it was fun to see how excited the girls got over the animals. Olivia was excited to see the Gorillas and Orangutans. But Jacob was the craziest, we thought he was going to jump out of his stroller a few times.
Here's a pic of Kayla and Olivia.

We went on the train right before we left it was nice to sit down after all the walking but the ride was fast and short. I think Miles thought it was cool to ride on the train he really did not pay any attention to the animals we saw while on the train.
Photos from the train.

Typical Adams family photo.

I forgot my camera most places we went this weekend so the zoo pics are courtesy of Tiffany. We had a barbecue at Trav's Mom's house on Saturday with the family that was fun and the food was really good. We had a whole bunch of salads and that is what we ate the most we had so much left over meat. I think when it is hot you just want something cool and light, and the salads hit the spot.
I love the 4th of July I know it sounds weird but that is my favorite holiday. I love the barbecue, fireworks and warm weather. We had a few fireworks but the real hit were the smoke bombs. All the kids ran around with them and Miles raced after them running through the smoke. Kayla and Jackson were playing pyro they wanted to set everything on fire. After all the fireworks were lite she and Jackson tried to burn up all the cardboard shells. Crazy kids!
Sorry no pics from Saturday because of course I forgot my camera again.
