So you might notice there is only one child in this photo. ONE child. You may remember that I have TWO. Kenzie was excited all day long about going to the zoo and to see Santa. She wouldn't nap, which was problem #1. Then she fell asleep in the car, which was problem #2. We only brought the small stroller to push Aubrey, since Kenzie always wants to walk when we are at the zoo, which ended up being problem #3.

It all started as soon as Kenzie got out of the car and saw that Aubrey was in the stroller. John ended up carrying Kenzie, and everytime he put her down...waterworks. ugh...so we went to the lion house to see Santa. You'd think she would have been excited. Nope, she was crabby, crabby, crabby while we stood in line. I decided to let Aubrey out of the stroller, and Kenzie immediately sat in it. By the time we got to the front to see Santa she would not budge and was having a tantrum about getting out of the stroller to see Santa. I think everyone thought she was scared of Santa, but I don't think that was it at all. There was nothing we could do to get her to go sit on Santa's lap, so we just put Aubrey there with him. I thought for sure Aubrey was going to be the one who freaked out, but she was just fine. So I have a photo of ONE of my children with Santa.

Needless to say we were pretty disappointed with the outcome and didn't really feel in the mood to walk much more around the zoo. Kenzie was super crabby, so we just walked around the entrance area and left. Maybe next year will be better.
