Bird Boys

We went to the zoo this morning. I decided a little caffeine would be in order for me to tackle the hills with the double stroller, so we stopped by Starbucks. When I pulled up to get my coffee and pay, she told me my order was free since we had to wait so long. I'll admit, the wait was the longest I've ever sat through, but well worth the free coffee. I knew it was going to be a good day. :)

Since we go to the zoo about once a week, I don't take my camera every time. Two kids, the double stroller, diaper bag, sippy cups, snacks, sunscreen, packed lunches...it's a lot to juggle without having to worry about my camera.

I brought it today, because today we were going to feed the birds. Every time we see the bird exhibit, Javen walks up to the tree with the most birds and puts his arms out, just waiting for the birds to land on him. So today I splurged and spent $1 on bird food to ensure his dream of holding a bird would come true. He was SO excited and stood perfectly still the whole time, biggest grin on his face.

When the food was gone, he handed me the empty cup and he and Liam walked over to the pond to watch the ducks. When we left the exhibit, a food vendor gave us a free bag of cotton candy because she couldn't stand how cute the boys were. I guess it's free food day for us...hmm...wonder where we should go try our luck for a free dinner tonight? :)
