Breaking out of Cabin Fever!

So it's been super cold, and foggy on our side of the hill. Sun hasn't come out too often and we've been hanging out inside and staying warm. Honestly, I kind of like it, but the little ones get some serious cabin fever!
Mateo has been talking about the zoo everyday since we last went....months ago...lol.
So knowing that we had a free Saturday (and need to get good use out of our membership) and the weather in Oalkand was going to be nice, we got up early and headed out! It turned out to be such a great day. Mateo was in animal heaven, and Marco was such a trooper. Didn't squirm "too" much in the stroller.
The weather was perfect and best of all, we saw every animal (except for the Hyena, still yet to see on a visit). The good and bad of the Oakland zoo, they try to keep the animals in natural surroundings that can be quite large areas and they can hide really well. But not today. We even saw the bears up close and personal. So cool!!
And we ended our day with a stop to ride the train! The boys loved it! It turned out to be such a great day!!
And even better, we got home, I got ready and headed out for dinner and a movie with the girls! Pretty much a perfect day!!

My little zoo keeper, so excited for our day at the Zoo!

This little guy LOVES looking at the map!
