Primrose Hill & London Zoo

PRIMROSE HILL

on sunday afternoon we decided to take a walk to Primrose Hill, the actual hill and surrounding area is just north of Regent's Park (which we live on the south side of). it was a beautiful walk, the leaves are starting to change, but the grass is still so green. from the top of the hill you get a clear view of central london all the way to the London Eye & Thames River... as well as the sunset.
here is a view from the top (sorry, the quality isn't the best)
the boys walking up the hill (blake for the second time, the first time we ran up together, part of which he was on my back!)
me and my guys
(don't worry, we got his hair cut the next day! :)
ahhh.... the sunset
LONDON ZOO
jonathan had monday off and it was SUNNY outside so we decided to go to the zoo. so did everyone else in London. apparently it's a school holiday week, so there were tons of people there. once we got in it was fine, but we stood in line for a good 45 min. it was worth it though, the boys had a great time, and it was a beautiful day! (unfortunately i forgot to charge my camera before we left, so i only got a few pictures before it died)
the zoo is also on the north end of Regent's Park, so we walked...
i love these cut-out things, but this one is SO fitting! the monkeys were adam's favorite, he loved watching them swing, jump, run, and chase eachother around. and he would growl at them if they looked his way :)
blake's favorite were the zebras and giraffes
i love these boys!
of course we had to take a ride on the safari jeep!
and this is where my camera died... we saw tons of other animals, and had a great time together!

Love the pictures.
Did the boys get those coats there?
I don't remember them.
Those boys of yours, no matter where they are, will find and get into anything with 4 tires and a steering wheel.
