Trains, Carousels, and Cousins...oh and Animals

We went to the zoo on Saturday and hat a fantastic sweaty time!  We really enjoyed the cousins joining us!

 The elephants were the big show on this day and our kids couldn't handle the heat!  GK wanted to be held by Amy!  Super sweet!  You won't see many pictures of animals because, I just didn't take any!  A lot of the big animals were hidden in their "caves" because of the heat!

 These four love each other!  I guess that is the joys of having cousins close in age.  Cousins make everything more fun!

 I feel a big weird about this picture of these statues because they resemble false gods and idols! This is the attempt to have them sit like them.  Brooklyn was not liking it...I don't blame her, they were probably false idols!

 Her fish face!

 Our favorite part of the day was our visit with the chimpanzees!  This one put on a show for us!  He was playing with our poop and Harry thought it was hilarious!  GK was rolling at this monkey!

Georgia Kelley also loved the train and carousel!

The kids loved and we all slept well on Saturday night!

Wild Trip to Gentry

We decided to take a random last minute trip one beautiful Monday morning to the Gentry Safari Zoo with our friends/neighbors the Mcs! It was so much fun and a little too wild for my taste but, great memory makers! 

 The goats were so hungry they grabbed everything in the stroller and ate things that were not even eatable.

 We were aloud to get in the cage with some of the animals. While in here this monkey on Melissa's back kept attacking her....literally jumping on her every second it got!  This liger kept trying to escape. Mel was the only brave one to pick it up.

 If you are wondering what this monkey is holding well...it is Georgia Kelley's bow.  She was admiring them from outside the cage and it jumped like lightening and put his hand through the fence and grabbed it off her hair!

 This picture below is right before that monkey took her bow!

We had to get the zookeeper to get it!  Although wild, it was a very fun trip to the zoo!  Good timeS!

A Day with Animals!

Now this is a fun crew! How can you not have fun with these little guys? We had a blast at the Gentry Safari Zoo. I think this is better than going to the zoo because, you get to touch so many animals....almost all of them! Harry was in heaven with some of his favorite friends and Brooklyn came too and that is always a bonus! The best part is feeding the animals and Harry was all about it! I didn't get many pictures of the exotic animals (since we were in the car I had a few kids in my lap)!

The little animal in here; a goat I think; obviously did not want to play....Harry would have crawled in if I would have let him!

Brooklyn was cold and can I say that Harry was so proud that she wore his jacket. Harry was proud to have her come with us period.

Harry rode a water buffalo(I think this buffalo was depressed...notice his head is down).

Brooklyn loved the animals(except the emus) but, she wanted them all a good yard away from her. The only exception was this little snake...her mother is cringing at the thought! This snake was probably the only animal that someone was holding that didn't move...maybe that is why she liked it...well that would rule out the turtle too..hmm...

This little piggy got a little too close!

I can't wait to go again; maybe next time we will pick a day without so much wind!
