Wagner Family Blog: Spring Break: Day 5

Today we spent most of our day at the Montgomery Zoo.

We started the day by making a trip to Winn-Dixie. They have a Make A Deal this week. When you buy a bag of Kingsford Charcoal for $9.99, you get a package of hot dogs, Winn-Dixie brand hot dog buns, Winn-Dixie brand mustard & a bag of Doritos. Nanny & I both bought the deal. I had a coupon from the Winn-Dixie Spring Forward coupon book for $1 off Kingsford Charcoal, making the deal $8.99! Yay! I am putting my bag of charcoal & mustard away for our beach trip in August. :)

After Winn-Dixie, we packed a picnic lunch & headed to the Montgomery Zoo. We went straight to the playground & ate lunch. Being Spring Break week, the zoo was very busy. There were lots of kids on the playground. David was a bit excited about all the kids & wasn't real into eating lunch but Grace ate her whole sandwich & some goldfish! It was a good thing she ate such a good lunch because once we let her loose on the playground she went nonstop for two hours! Grace has no fear & she loves to slide! She loves to climb to the highest & fastest slide. She really wants to slide head first but Mommy wont allow it! She would slide over & over all day if I would let her! :) David, on the other hand, is a bit more cautious. He likes the small slide but is not into the big fast slide. David loves to climb the rope ladder & run after the other kids. Grandpa was able to join us at the zoo in the afternoon. He was able to play with the kids on the playground & watch our dare devil Grace! :) We then walked around a bit to see some animals. The kids were pretty tired after playing so long. We didn't walk around too long or see many animals before Grace was falling asleep in the wagon & David was saying he was tired. We decided to take the kids home & let them nap. Both kids were asleep in the van before we were out of the parking lot of the zoo. :) The kids stayed asleep for the rest of the afternoon & didn't get up from their nap until 5pm!!

For dinner, we went to Grandpa & Nanny's usual Friday date night spot, Sommer's Place. On Friday nights, they have a special of prime rib or a filet with a lobster tail. It is sooooo good! David ordered the children's zita dinner. He ate every bit of it! He even had half of one of Grace's chicken fingers!

So we had a very fun day & look forward to making more trips to the Montgomery Zoo. Hopefully next time, we can actually see more animals! haha
