This weekend Jason and I took the boys for a trip to the Greenville Zoo. Several people had told me that we had some new additions to the Zoo family and we just had to go and welcome them. Our very beautiful new additions were two baby giraffe's. The were so fun to watch and simply beautiful creatures.
There is also another baby at our zoo that we love to visit as well. His name is Bob and he is an orangutan. He will be 2 yrs old this coming January but is still so small and cute. He was riding on his mom's back very close to the window when we were there on Saturday so we were able to see him very well. The pictures weren't great but I will share them with you anyway.
After our visit to the zoo we let the kids play on the new playground right outside. It was filled with creative new playground toys like I had never seem before. The was a bungee cord tower for climbing and some really cool swing like things that twisted and turned. The kids had a ball.
Even daddy got in on the fun.
Next we decided to head downtown for some lunch and a little exploring. There are so many cool things to see downtown and it was such a pretty day we were definitely up for an adventure. We had lunch at Jason favorite downtown restaurant Takosushi. The boys loved the soup and we even had to order them their own bowl.
Next we went to explore the many treasures of downtown Greenville. We walked across Falls Park Bridge, saw the many waterfalls, found a mouse or two (tiny hidden bronze mice) and even skipped a few rocks in the Reedy River.
Our day ended with a special ice cream treat from the Marble Slab.
We had a wonderful time spending time together. We were not on any kind of schedule and we were able to take our time and enjoy each other. I can't wait until we can do this again.
