Kicky and Jumpy's Zoo Adventure

The Kickster and the Jumpster, accompanied by their cousins, had a big adventure on Sunday. They had brunch at Friendly's followed by a visit to the Stone Zoo. The brunch was good. Kevin greatly enjoyed hash browns and pancakes while Jason chose milk and sitting on his Dad's lap. No pancake, no hash browns, no thank you. He did high five the waitress so he had some fun and made a new friend. Both boys had a great time visiting with their cousins while the grown-ups enjoyed the chat and the food. Both boys were very well-behaved. Jason fussed a bit because he was hot and didn't want to eat. 

At the zoo, the boys had much fun watching their cousins run ahead of the stroller. Kevin had a nice chat with Joey while boy boths loved to watch Molly twirl in her pink coat (pink being one of their favorite colors). 

The boys really liked the cheetah who was pacing back and forth. We called him "kittycat" and talked about how he says "meow". When the wolves came over to the fence, Joe pointed out the "doggies". Jason and Kevin watched the wolves carefully.  Smart boys as the wolves looked hungry.


The day was fun. It was wrapped up by a quick nap in the car and then applesauce at Dairy Queen. Well, the boys had applesauce while Mom and Dad had ice cream. It seemed odd that Dairy Queen would be open in March but it was a pleasant enough day if you had a coat on. Oddly enough, our sunny and windy day turned into a snow squall. We had huge snowflakes for about 10 minutes while the sun blazed on.
