We got to the Toronto Zoo earlier than everyone else so that we could enjoy a couple hours as a family. The ride was uneventful except for stopping on the side of a 10 lane (at least!) expressway to let Samuel go potty. Thank goodness he's a boy!!
A warm day, sunglasses on, and ready for the zoo!
Watching the polar bears. In the days leading up to this trip, Samuel kept talking about seeing the polar bears. He was so excited! That was where he wanted to go right when we got there. We got there at a perfect time because they were just getting ready to feed them. The kids had fun watching the polar bears swim around to get the fish to eat. Dessert was cantaloupe!
They even had a baby polar bear!
Aliyah wanted to be just like the flamingos. I think she fits right in!
Joining the birthday party on the polar patio for some cupcakes!
My little niece, Zahara. It was her Daddy's birthday party!
Happy 40th Birthday to Rodney!
Hope with her Grandpa. She was dancing and singing while holding onto Grandpa's hand. So sweet!
After cupcakes we walked around the African area with Kevin and Karin and their 4 kids. Samuel, Ephraim, and Hope loved watching the giraffes.
Aliyah fell asleep and missed the giraffes, lions, penguins, hyenas, and a couple of other animals.
They didn't have fun at all. ;)
My nephew, Noel. One of my favorite pictures from the weekend!
Watching the two rhinoceroses. We had a little lesson in their amazing toilet skills. Haha!
Taking a break by the elephants.
Playing with Aunt Danielle. I love the facial expressions in this picture!
Watching the elephants. They weren't super active. Probably because of the heat!

The polar bears were Samuel's favorite animal until he saw the Tiger. He loved watching the Tiger! He told me, "Mommy, he looks just like Shere Khan from the Jungle Book!"
After we were done at the zoo, we went out for pizza with Kevin and Karin and their kids. Then we followed them back to their house, gave the kids quick baths (b/c it was already after 9!) and put them to bed so that they'd be ready for Church in the morning!
