Becca's wedding and the ZOO!

My dear BFF got married on March 30th in Louisville. I was a bridesmaid, which meant I had to be there for the rehearsal also -- so we decided to make a Louisville weekend out of it! Of course, this was the only picture I managed to take of any wedding festivities. We stayed in a hotel for the first time as a family of four... In one room... With a two year old and a one year old... Who still isn't the best sleeper... Aak! It actually worked out really well, though! I slept with Lincoln and Dad slept in the bed by the pack-n-stack (as Pap calls it). We went to bed really late both nights, but we actually did get some good sleep! We ordered food in, watched a movie or two, attended lots of wedding festivities (Congrats Bec and Aaron!), and on our way out of town, stopped at the Louisville Zoo.
Please pay no mind that Liam is wearing a pajama shirt. When we left, we had been experiencing 85 degree weather every day. On Saturday, the tides began to change and Sunday was just straight chilly! I brough the boys shorts and sleeveless shirts for the zoo. Awesomesauce... I happened to have thrown an extra teeshirt in for Lincoln, but poor Liam was hosed. So, I just left his pj shirt on. It ended up being warm enough that we didn't have to worry about it. Thank goodness!
These boys (and mom and dad) really enjoyed the zoo! It was a nice breezy day, so lots of animals were out to play. We rented a "safari wagon" like we usually do at the Evansville Zoo, and off we went.
Liam LOVES to ride in these things! They have seatbelts in them, so he can't crawl out, and he didn't make a peep the whole four hours we were there!
Here's Lincoln by his absolute favorite thing at the zoo - SNAKES!! He is totally obsessed with them! If you ask him, he will tell you he has snakes in his hair, behind his ears, they are on the ceiling, under the rug, outside the door, in his mouth -- EVERYWHERE!! I'm not sure where the infatuation comes from, but it's definitely interesting.
Liam was enjoying cooling off with some of daddy's coke. I think he'd drink the whole thing if allowed.
I think daddy liked the birdcage more than anyone else. Scoffed at me for buying a cup of nectar, but look who wouldn't let loose of it once we got in there... ;
Lincoln even made a new friend while we were there. I mean, how intense does this conversation about bears look? I should have recorded some of it, it was hilarious. "They got teeth" "he hit the ball"
Look what a sweet little guy...
And what a crazy animal!!
This van was near the exit (AKA near "naptime") and Lincoln was CONVINCED that he could drive it over to see the giraffes. Oh, the breakdown that ensued as we told him that we didn't have the keys... All good things must come to an end, eh?
Seriously, we had a superfun (and super exhausting) weekend. One for the books!
