animals everywhere!

Today we visited the zoo. It was great fun and a young lady from our church accompanied us-extra hands & eyes :) She is a sweetheart and my children love her.

Here are a few photos from our adventure!

Thanks for stopping by!!

elephant mask
I think

WILD mask.... 
she couldn't reach the eye holes
so she just looked out the mouth

was such a sweet baby 
the whole morning!

YEP. this is HER instrument!

that's her LION face

hmmm.. not too ferocious 

she was excited about the lions
they were the only animal 
she wanted to see

But of course, the sun was at just the right angle to make picture taking of the lions horrible. But they had 5 cubs, and they were ADORABLE.

also seeing the tortoise

"look at him, Mikalah.
He's HUGE"

and he was!

well, I told them all to smile
guess Mikalah was still trying to be a lion.

We had a wonderful morning at the zoo today with just me and the kids with Nana. It was not too warm this morning, though I was glad our plans were to leave around lunch time because the temperature was rising quickly!

For some reason I cannot get more pictures on this post, but they were just of some animals... nothing important like my kids silly faces. {smiles} But I may post some of them later. I was also trying out a new photo logo for my pictures. What do you think? There is a story behind it... for another time. I hear the game Clue, Jr calling my name.
