It started with the me + my three littles leaving the house by 8am so we could be at Fluor Field in Greenville by 9am. Actually it was about a quarter after 8 b/c we can't seem to get out the door on time anymore. There's something about my dear sweet third child that has completely thrown me out of whack.
So we didn't get into the stadium until 9:30. I just knew Bobby had already finished his half marathon and that we'd missed cheering for him. Thankfully we arrived and had a good fifteen minutes to get our posters up and ready before Bobby finished.
We were planning to go directly to a cook-out after the race was over (someone from Bobby's work was hosting it) but the kids really wanted to go to the Greenville Zoo to see Kiko. Okay, I really wanted to go the zoo too.
The Greenville Zoo has two giraffes on loan for their breeding program. So Hannah and I have been glued to Earthcam these past couple of weeks in anticipation of seeing this adorable baby giraffe being born to Autumn and Walter. Kiko was born early last Tuesday morning and the kids have been begging on a daily basis to go visit him. You would think he was a member of our family or something!

...finally...
...Autumn (the mommy)...
So we went to see Kiko & Autumn, glimpsed at the rest of the animals, then we headed to the cook-out.
We got home around 5pm and had an early dinner, early baths and have settled the kids into bed. They've completely passed out from sheer exhaustion of a fun filled day. And now, dear friends, my own bed is calling my name. I will post more zoo pictures soon.
