What a day! 🦁🐒 We had the absolute best time yesterday on our zoo adventure, and we did it in style! Check out our two-step recipe for the perfect field trip: • Step 1: Get creative!

It made spotting our group in the crowd a breeze (and we looked pretty sharp, if we do say so ourselves). 🌈 We want to send a huge THANK YOU to Marathon for the incredibly generous ticket donation. You made these smiles possible and gave our kids a day they’ll never forget! 🦒❤️ #ZooDay #TieDyeAdventure
