The Zoo

Here is the Family...I swear one day we will have everyone looking forward and happy!


How does Margaret Susanna Measure up? Don't know--see the green flash? That's Isaac...what a tease!

Smile my little actress! One day she will make it big!

WAIT!! Are we all looking forward?? Dang, Sorry, Isaac isn't.

Garrett what are you riding on? Oh this is a bald eagle found in North America, mainly in Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, and Colorado. His talons shred the fluffy bunnies. --giggle-- Nice.

I just love Fall. It was a year ago that Scott took us on a family Zoo day. So in the light of tradition, I had the Zoo as a reading goal for 4 of the 5 kids for the month of September. They had to read 20 mins 6 days a week to earn it and Ta-DAHH! They did it an so we get to go back and enjoy the zoo for another year.

Isaac saw some Columbus Monkeys that could grasp the wire fence with all their digits and then just to top it off, they gassed us. Nice. Isaac laughed for about an hour. Next we saw a real African squirrel. This guy was going crazy in the exhibit: running, stop, running, stop, climb, jump, fly, stop...Isaac said, "That guy is just like me!" We all rolled our eyes and agreed.

Highlight? The two babies: a baby Elephant and a baby Giraffe. Super cute and super expressive to all you were there. They stood, played, ate, splashed in mud, and just filled your heart with love.

We enjoyed the day, the Beauties of this world, the animals, the joy that it gives to my little Garrett is what warms my heart. You have to see how high he jumps, how much information he gives at each exhibit, and what smiles he gives to Scott and myself. Our hearts are touched.

**Note: Garrett saw a squirrel at the Zoo in the trees by the Penguins. Isaac to the rescue. We had to invent the Squirrel protection agency. Isaac would run to the trees and shout squirrel. Helpful? Not really! Anyway, this went on through the rest of the zoo time. I'm sure we got several looks, but who cares. I just love my kids.
