13 kids and 6 mamas at Zoo Atlanta

We loaded 1 Sequoia and two Honda Pilots with 13 car seats and 6 mamas and set off to Zoo Atlanta last Wednesday. Crazy? Yes. Fun? Yes. Chaotic? Yep. Worth it? Absolutely!!

By the time we actually got there, parked, got through the ticket line, took all the kids to the bathroom and ate our picnic lunch it was pretty much nap time but we pushed on through and the kids were champs.

Thank goodness for Gardner who was our fearless map guide.

We sort of resembled a stroller parade.

Will was surprisingly brave at the petting zoo. If you know Will then you know this is a big deal. He takes after his mama and is not so much an animal lover. He comes by it honestly.

Lions, Tigers and Bears....we saw it all. Well, at least the kids saw it all. I'm not sure the moms actually saw many of the animals between holding babies, taking pictures, changing diapers and counting 1, 2, 3, 4....10, 11, 12, 13.

Of course we had to stop and get a picture with the original Willie B.

Pretty special moment for the two Willie B's to meet.

Guess who did not take a nap? All nice and snugly in there but did not want to miss one second of the action.

She was on the move...

Unlike some of the other kids who did not make it the end.

Thankfully, we made it home with all 13 kids safe and sound.

A fun time was had by all at Zoo Atlanta! Can't you tell by look on their faces??!

Wow! What a fun crazy, trip. Great pic of MJ peeping out of the Ergo. She must take after her mommy and not want to miss a beat.
