This turned out to be a super challenging afternoon in the form of a toddler breakdown and an extremely long and arduous walk back to the car (up a hill, carrying a screaming toddler on my back and a baby in the front pack!). It's a really good thing that we had such a great lunch. But, the animals were so gorgeous and we had lots of fun too (the first half of the day)!
