A Day at the Zoo

The first Saturday in September we spent a Reusser Family Day at the Ft. Wayne Zoo. It was great to have all of us together. What a fun day - thanks Grandpa and Grandma!
The boys were so excited when they woke up that morning.
We stopped at a rest area to stretch and use the facilities. Grandma had packed "goodie bags" for all the kids and they had fun both in the car and at the rest stop playing with their "goodies".

Definitely a highlight of the zoo was the petting zoo and the pygmy goats. Initially Gracie was scared of the goats but she quickly warmed up to them.

Reese and Drew loved feeding and brushing the goats.

Claire is an animal lover. Her face always lights up when she is around animals and the goats were no exception!

Not sure what's going on here but I know they're having fun... silly Grandma :)

All aboard!!

Another highlight was the fountain on the way out. This year we came prepared with a change of clothes for all the kids. Jacob, Drew and Reese were absolutely soaked. Ellie and Gracie got in but were a little more reserved in their enthusiasm.
