"Check it out, Noah! Look at the tiger!" Jaden gasped in fake excitement, pointing at the Bengal tiger in the cage. It didn't react to my husband's exclamation, instead flicking its tail impatiently and walking away from us. Jaden's face fell, a little disappointed, but Noah laughed anyway, clapping his hands together gleefully.

"C'mon baby, let's go look at the lions. Maybe they'll pay attention to your father." I told Noah. Jaden rolled his eyes at that, even as he took my hand and followed me and the stroller along toward another cage. "This was a good idea, babe."

"Yeah, but did we really have to take them along?" He questioned, gesturing behind us. Calla, Skylar, and Chase were behaving, the former two standing in the gift shop, laughing about something, while the latter was listening in on a tour guide's explanation about some of the habitats. Kaz and Oliver, however, were a little busy making fun of the capuchins, doing things from making faces at them to teasing them with their fries, trying to elicit some sort of response from the uninterested monkeys.

"Dani would drag their butts out of here so fast if she saw that." I chuckled, slightly amused. Jaden chuckled, nodding in agreement.

"We need to do stuff like this more often." He commented. I nodded, slowly moving along the edge of one of the habitats. Noah was completely alert, staring at the playing lions with big, brown eyes.

"With team stuff, we never have the time." I sighed. Jaden nodded.

"Hey, I wanted to talk to you…you've got to be kidding me." He cut himself off, staring past me. I turned to follow the direction of his gaze and let out an amused laugh. By the looks of things, Kaz and Oliver had gotten a little too close to the monkeys, because now the capuchins had their phones, tossing them back and forth like they were a ball. Meanwhile, Kaz and Oliver looked at them helplessly, the latter trying to convince the monkeys to return the devices while the former just looked distraught. Calla, Chase, and Skylar were all watching them, laughing too hard to help. "I told CeeCee something like this would happen."

"You should have put money on it." I advised. He gave me a charming smile.

"I did, actually." He kissed me on the cheek before beginning to walk in the direction of his sister. I smiled after him, glad that we took this day off.
