Last Minute Family Fun

A couple of weeks ago it was a beautiful Saturday morning so we thought we would put our zoo pass to good use and packed up lunch and headed to the zoo.  The last time at the zoo we didn't ride the train so that was the first stop this trip.  We road the train around the entire zoo, if it were up to the boys we would have stayed on the train the entire day.  Once we finally got them off the train we got on the tram and made our way to Africa.  Last trip we visited Australia.  We like to just stick to one continent per visit, much easier with 4 kiddos.  We go until they're done, which doesn't really take to long.  The weather was so nice all the animals were out and moving around, that hasn't always been the case when we have gone before.  
The kids loved the sky tram, they are old enough we went on that one way and then walked back around.  Which was perfect timing then it was lunch time.  Kids ate packed lunch, I fed Parker and we got to ride the tram back and loaded up in the car and came home.  I love last minute family fun, it's such a treat.  
A later in the week my mom came across Royals tickets, there were 3 so we took Payton to the game.  She offered to come over and watch the boys, so another fun night of last minute family fun.  The weather was perfect to sit and watch baseball and eat junk food.  I love summer nights!
