Como Zoo and Park

Last weekend we met Grandma and Grandpa Kattestad, Aunt Kelly, and cousins: Dawson, Savanah, and Tanner at Como Zoo for a fun day trip.

Devin loved seeing all the animals he thought the flamingos were really neat.

Devin was Dawson's sidekick for most of the time, that is when Dawson would wait for him, Dawson is very independent so he had place to go and things to see. But Devin's little legs kept up most of the time, he refused to ride in the stroller.

The boys really liked watching the seals play, they were really hamming it up for the crowd and the boys loved it! I think we may have actually stopped to watch them on three different occasions.

Since Dawson and Devin couldn't pose for a picture with the real giraffes they settle for these statues. They were very disappointed that they couldn't sit on them, not that they didn't try.

After we saw all the animals we went over to Comotown for some rides, Grandma and Grandpa treated Devin and Dawson to wristbands so they could ride as many rides as they wanted!! THANK YOU!!!

Devin just loved the fire truck ride, Dawson road on top of the fire truck where you could squirt water at the burning building.

After the fire trucks it was time for a train ride, unfortunately the train just wasn't fast enough for the boys so they got a little antsy but we made it through with no one jumping off.

Dawson wanted to go on the flying swings so of course Devin wanted to go too, mommy wasn't so keen on this but everyone else said he would be fine. Of course he did great and loved the ride but mommy was freaking out the whole time that Devin was going to try and climb out!! Not a great ride for mommy's nerves!!!

Then just to add a little more stress to mommy Devin decided to try the ride with no hands AAHHHH!!! Man he is a little too brave

But all ended well so I guess mommy just has to realise her little boy is growing up already!!

Devin kicked back for a little carriage ride while Dawson road on a big kid ride.

The boys went for a little magic carpet ride with Aladdin, it was a fun ride but not their favorite.

Devin took a little drive, but he is going to have to learn to keep his eyes on the road a little better!! Nice color choice on the car though and no mommy didn't pick it.

While the older kids got to go on rides Cullen, Savanah, and Tanner had to sit back and take it easy in the strollers. All in all they did pretty well considering they were in the strollers most of the day and it was a little chilly out!

We took a little break and had a picnic lunch which was a lot of fun expect for the bees that kept trying to join us, but I guess that is too be expected when there are so many sweets around and kids spilling things.

Dawson and Devin took a little spin in a tea cup, I am not really sure if Devin liked it a lot because he had an odd look on his face most of the ride but he never got sick, thank goodness!!

Here is Devin playing in a barn, they had a nice little play area but of course that was part of Comotown so you had to pay for it so Savanah and Tanner didn't even get to do that, bummer!!

I think Devin may be considering a career in fire fighting but who knows it is a little early to tell.
