More fun Dalton adventures!

In Madison (2 hour drive) they have a FREE zoo! And, it’s not like the Logan free zoo which has pretty much no animals, this zoo was awesome! We loved it. We didn’t get to stay for long because it was sprinkling the whole time. I think because it was such a nice temp. outside all the animals were out and doing things. It was so cool. There were a few of these posted around to take pictures with. This is Kaitlyn and Ryan



And me and Kaitlyn



This was so cool there were two orangatanges (sp?) swinging around and having fun. Then all of a sudden we found out one was the mom and the other was her daughter. How? The daughter came up to the mom and started nursing. Crazy. She must have been a toddler because she ate like Kaitlyn (who does NOT nurse, she’s way to old!). She would come up to her mom take a couple sips and run off swinging around like crazy and then come back for more. In fact the more I watched the more I thought Kaitlyn is very much like a monkey. She would have loved to play in there, especially if she were able to swing around like a monkey.



Ah, the lions were the next exciting animal. When we got up there the two lions were snuggling, it was so cute! So I was telling Kaitlyn -aw look the lions love each other, isn’t that nice? Then the male decided he didn’t want to just cuddle anymore! I was so embarrassed! Ryan thought it was really cool, such a guy. The female turned him down, so the male staked off and started pacing around and grunting. It wasn’t a full lion roar, but it was pretty loud! Everyone came racing over to see what the lions were up too. I just had to laugh, the lion was pouting cause he didn’t get his way. Too funny. This picture was before, um everything.



Oh, did you notice I’m holding Kaitlyn and Emily and feeding Em a bottle all at the same time? Yes I know I’m supper talented. Plus it was only for a few seconds so I could get Ryan to take a picture.

Afterwards we drove around until we found a Chili’s for lunch. Kaitlyn was so funny during this lunch. There was a table behind us and she kept turning around and standing up to peek over the bench and hang out with the other table, especially when they got their food first! Every time the waiter would walk by with some ones’ food, she would start saying Thank you, and kept repeating it tell she got louder and louder and then, to her dismay he’d put the food on another table. I think she was really surprised that he didn’t turn and bring the food to her instead. I mean come on, she even said thank you!

After we finished eating we got up to go and she noticed a couple of teenage boys that were sitting near us. She walked strait up to them and stared at one of the boys until she had his attention and then smiled and waved. The table that was behind us that she’d been talking to before just started laughing. Ryan was just shaking his head and laughing too. We are in so much trouble with that little girl!

I love those random bed pictures. Isn't checking on them at night the best thing?! That zoo sounds great and all for free! I can't believe how big Emily is, she is such a big big girl!

So cute! that is nice that the zoo was free...esp. since you drove 2 hours to get there! The girls are so big and I'm excited to hear Kaitlyn talk. I did notice you holding both girls at one time. Very talented. It's amazing what we moms can pull off! love you lots
