What do you do when you've been locked up in your house for two days straight...whatelse you go to the ZOO!!!

So the Robertsons survived another bout of sickness in our house this time it was the stomach flu. Most disgusting 48 hours of my life and even worse being pregnant. Never thought my abs would hurt that much...I've had some hard ab workouts but nothing compares to throwing up for 2 days.

On Tuesday morning, I received a nice phonecall from my friend, Karen, wondering if we should venture out to the Aldergrove Zoo (part of the Greater Vancouver Zoo) with Sam and Liam for the morning. After being in our house for 2 days it was a blessing to get out and enjoy the fresh air and I am sure Liam appreciated being entertained by animals rather than mom lying on the couch pretending to play.

It took us 45 minutes to get there but worth the drive time as the weather was beautiful, a balmy 27 degrees out, and the boys were in good spirits. We were able to see bears, lions, tigers, zebras, so many exotic animals but the boys seemed quite content looking for ducks, cows (cattle from around the world) and anything that resembled a horse got a loud 'Neigh!' from Liam and Sam --> so basically zebras, donkeys, antelopes...all got the same response.

The boys were great, we had a fantastic morning outdoors and of course it lead to a nice 3 hour long nap. wooohooo can't beat that.

So here's a few photos that captured our trip to the zoo. Enjoy!

Neigh!!! It's a zebra silly!

The giraffe was a highlight to many!

Shadow the Grizzly bear waiting for some small child to fall in.

The animals in the back of the car!

Hopefully next post I can get some audio of Liam as his vocabulary has simply exploded in the last few weeks. He's now an official Pete the Repeat. Watch out!!
