The zoo, a party & art in the park...Oh my!

Wow, how's that for a title, eh? Came up with that one all by myself :) So, today could be the day of all days, in which we (the Kinney Clan) tried to cram as much stuff into one day as humanly possible! Here's a quick rundown...

8:30 - awoke, and headed out the door to the Original Pancake House for some belly-busting breakfast

9:30 - were wheeled out of the Original Pancake House because of how many pancakes we consumed, & then decided to head on over to the Boise Zoo...

10:15 - Get to the Zoo area, and can't figure out why there are so many people around? What is going on??? Is there some awesome, totally new exhibit at the zoo, causing mass hysteria to come from swarms of people in every direction??? Nope, it's just the same weekend as "Art in the park" in the park right next to the zoo - I have never seen so many people! (Talk about good people watching!!)

12:00 - After wandering aimlessly through "Art in the park" we decide that we can no longer quiet Big Boy's questions of "where are the lions?" Or "where are the penguins?" (thanks Happy Feet!) So we head on over to the zoo for some quality animal time.

1:15 - Tummies growling, we leave the zoo, where I truly believe the boys would have rather moved in with the monkeys than ever leave because it was so much fun...But, alas, we left - and headed back into the mass hysteria of people and smell of Pronto Pups and popcorn to find a sunny spot in front of the ampitheater to eat our sack lunches and listen to a little blue grass band...

2:00 - Head home, put the boys down for a quick nap...

4:30 - Head out, grumpy boys in tow, and leave to go to Makena's 1st birthday party!

7:45 - Leave Makena's birthday party with two cake faced little boys, and a whole day full of memories!

WHEW!

I'm going to bed!
Just like "Happy Feet!"
