Atlanta Zoo

I love living in Atlanta, we have the greatest places to visit, including the Atlanta Zoo. Last year my dad's company hosted 'family night' at the zoo. It was such a hit, they decided to do it again this year. We packed the boys up for the night (Saturday night) and headed downtown. The weather was a little rainy, but we didn't let it stop us from having a great time. My sister, brother and his friend Robert came with us. We had an awesome time. Thanks to my dad's company for another successful zoo experience.

Your zoo is SOOOO much better than our zoo - we may have to pay the Atlanta zoo a visit. The B'ham zoo is so sad these days!

Awww, look at him giving some lovin' to the goat. So sweet.

Your kids seem to be doing great with those backpack harnesses. My kids hated them. Thankfully they have finally outgrown that phase of running away, but at the time it was a complete pain when they refused to use them
