| Our furst stop at the Zoo...the Monkeys for Isaac |
Zoo Time! We have a season pass so why not go to the zoo? Garrett was super excited becuase this time at the zoo the "White Witch" will have frozen the squirels and the wasps would be DEAD!!! YES! (short squirel story: when Garrett was 2 he was asleep in the van with the doors open while his brother played t-ball at the park. Suddenly the van is shaking back and forth and death screams are coming from the van! I race over to find a squirel hissing and chirping at Garrett while he is strapped into his car seat...can you see why he hates them??)
 |
| stop number two...the Elephants. But it was cold--they came out made some yellow snow for us...Great! |
 |
| The Rhinos! This is all that we saw of them...they are inside for the winter. |
 |
| Isaac on the Elephant's nose...in the summer it sneezes water on you...not today! Just Ice bugers! |
 |
| The Tigers! Margaret reminds me of a tiger: she is beautiful, strong willed, sometimes fights, and loves the water. |
 |
| This tiger was eating some type of steak...YUM! |
 |
| Here is Virginia with the Burrowing Owl. |
Story time! Virginia and I were togther in the "Small Animal House" and we were just enjoying our time there. Suddenly we came acorss the "Burrowing Owl". He is only5-6 inches tall and they live in small Burrows. This little guy was napping when we came to take a look at him. Virginia said, "let's sing him the Harry Potter song to see if he will wake up." GREAT--I love this kid! So we start humming the song. His little eyes peeked open and he nearly smiled at her. SOOOO cute! (we have listened to all 7 HP books three times through--we know them very well). To continue, Viginia then says, "He looks like the little Owl that Serious Black gave to Ron Weasley." (Love this kid!) I look at her and before I can say anything else she says, "his name is pig-wigen". Again I am floored. She turns at looks at him again and says, "I love you pig-wigen." At that moment he shyly turns his head away...(see the below picture) and wont' look at her again until she humms the song again. TURE TRUE! It was the cutest thing in the world. I said, "Heavenly Father must love you so much Virginia to give you a little Pig-wigen smile." She blushes and then Pigwigen turns again and shyly flurts with her. My heart was sooooo full that day! I nearly cried!
 |
| Pig-wigen is a little shy... |
 |
| Pig-wigen is given eys to Virginia...it was super sweet! |
 |
| Kellis's favorite animal: the wolf...this artic beauty was howling...she was beautiful! |
 |
| Garrett enjoying the Gorillas! |
The final story: The last stop in the "Main Zoo" (before we go to Discovery land) is the Gorrilla house. Ok, we walk into the house--the strong smell hits us...wow...okay so we watch the two males just ripping up boxes and doing their thing when suddenly the one male looks side to side and then puts his head under his "bum" and out comes the hand with a fist full of "scat!" EEEEWWWWWW!!!!! Isaac nearly pukes! (he has a thing with Monkeys thanks to the discovery channel's "Walking with Beasts"--the half human monkeys in there scared him to death!) Garrett is jumping and clicking around shouting "scat! Scat! Scat!!!" (Scat is poop--thank you Nature/Nova/Animal planet)
 |
| That is as close as I want to get to a gorilla! |
 |
| My beautiful Margart. Stike a Pose! |
 |
| My favorite Animal: The Giraffe! Why? Because his pattern is unique to him, he has a purple tonge, and hello they are quiet. Ahhhhh |
 |
| We have given him the name of "pig-wigen"...see the above story. |
