Pittsburgh Zoo

March 30th we took the boys to the Pittsburgh Zoo. It was our first time and it was fun-o. :) The spring/summer season wouldn't start until the next Monday so some of the exhibits were closed, but the most important ones were open! Overall it was well worth the looooooong 2 1/2 drive.
When we approached the zoo, we saw a big Hot Wheels stand in front of it. There were stations for the boys to play on and they gave out raffle tickets.
The boys won a Hot Wheels track. It was a fun and exciting way to start our zoo trip. :)
HA! Miles is such a little ball of energy, sweetness, and attitude all wrapped into one. Love these boys!
 Baby elephant: Miles is shorter, Christian is taller. :) 
 And this elephant is taller than us all...and yes, it's real! :D You could pay $10 to have 2 pictures taken on your camera with the elephant. It was so fun! We got to pet her and Elijah grabbed onto her tusk. HA!
These rhinos were fun. The baby was running around in all its cuteness and the Mama kept looking at us like she would gladly horn us if we tried to harm her babe. :D HA! Looooved it.
The weather was PERFECT and Elijah was so good the whole time! He sat in his stroller and looked around and eventually took a nap and loved the whole thing.
There was a big aquarium with GIANT stingray you could touch. It was AWESOME! We didn't get any pictures of it, of course, but here's Elijah with Daddy after his nap inside of the aquarium. :)
Next best thing, right?
On the way home we ate at Clem's Cafe, a reeeeeeeally good and affordable barbecue place. mmmmmm.....drooling just thinking about it. Hooray for family fun time!
