Heslop Family Weekend Day #1 - Saturday at the Toronto Zoo

Our Heslop Family Weekend. We try to get together for at least 1 day of a weekend and hang out. We generally go to the zoo. It's a lot of fun. Arnold and I can buy a family of 5 passes with our membership and we get to pass them out. We can 'sneak in' Amber and Lisa under our card (at least for a bit more) and then they have to use up one of the passes. But it's worth the $95.00 we spend on them!!

To start out our weekend we got some phone calls and text messages about when and where to come too. It turns out that everyone got here early! So Auntie B, Lisa and Amber came to our house and just after, Nana and Uncle Jack showed up! They had fun! We hung out here for a bit and then loaded up into 2 vans and off we went!

Be ready for some serious outload of photos:


This first photo is of the matching girls... all in pink!



Here we are getting our stuff out of the van.

Nana treated the two older kids to a camel ride!











Lisa chilled out while it was going on, and Q just wasn't interested.



Jack tried to warm me up! It was SOOOOO cold out. Somehow I was the only one who didn't have a sweater.



We visited the polar bear section. Mom hasn't been there yet so she really enjoyed this
