This past Friday (July 20), the zoo had a member appreciation night. The gates opened at 6:00, and they had $1 hot dogs, icees, popcorn and free drinks! They also had an alligator feeding and a diving demonstration. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to either of those, but it was pretty crowded so I don't think we would've been able to see anything anyway.

We had plenty to do and see though. We met up with our friends Irish and Rylan too. Rylan is just 2 months younger than Addison and Fischer and they always have a good time together. Here they are right when we got to the zoo... at least Rylan will look at me! :)


Our main concern was finding some dinner... we set out to get some cheap hot dogs and french fries. I love this picture so much... it wasn't prompted at all, and I just think it's so cute. Just incase you can't see it, Rylan and Fischer are holding hands.. Love it!!


After dinner, we headed to the train. While we were waiting in line, the kids thought they'd play conductor and undo the chain. Actually, Addison and Fischer were doing this and Rylan was just watching them get into trouble. :)


Scott rode the train with all 3 kids (Rylan calls him Mr. Spot, which is so funny!).



Then it was Icee time. All Fischer talked about the entire night was getting an "ice shake up." Finally, he got a red and blue mixed one. All 3 kids were excited that their mixed Icees turned purple as they melted!


Also, we went in to see if the gorilla was out... instead we saw this in the enclosure...


We all had a great time! I think the biggest thing that happened that night was Fischer finally getting to hear his echo. He'd been trying for weeks, in many different locations. He'd yell "Echo!!" and listen.. but never heard his actual echo. So, at the zoo, I took him into the bathroom and he yelled "Echo!!" and  it finally happened! He was so excited, and of course kept yelling "Echo!" while we were in the bathroom. I'm sure the next time we go to the zoo, he will want to go to the bathroom as soon as we get there. :)
