ZOO ~ with Henry and Anabelle

Map quest

Henry was told that he couldn't walk and read his map at the same time. So he simply sat when he needed to see where we were going.

I didn't tell them where to stand but said I'd like to get a group shot. We were a small group for the day. Krystle stayed home, Ry went to church and Hayden wasn't feeling well.

Joylynn missed out on both zoo trips, but her kids went with us earlier in the week so almost everyone got to "walk with the animals, talk with the animals, grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals" at some point.

Cameron and his mini me.

Great animal pics

I really love the zoom feature on this new camera! The auto focus is great too. 

Little walker girl

Anabelle is wanting to get moving! She has been walking around furniture and taking a few steps on her own but she loves when someone holds her hands so she can step out and get where she wants to go. I believe that Cherise is going to have to find a chiropractor in her new neighborhood before too long. It can't be comfortable to bend over like this all the time.

Sitting on the statues

Anabelle and Henry and the lion cubs. 

They climbed and sat on the adult sized ones too but these were too cute not to post.

What a snake "sees"

One of the teaching displays has a heat sensing camera. It talks about how snakes see through feeling the heat coming off of objects. Pretty cool infrared thermal imaging.

Nice sunny Sunday

 Harlan took the day off from his duties at church so we could have some more time with Kiel and Cherise and the kids. It really was a nice day to be hiking around the zoo. 

This is a nice photo of Har and me.  I've gotten a few good pictures of us lately.  I  especially like the location of this one because we are standing by the mountain goat exhibit and Har and his "goatee" fit right in!

It's starting to feel like Fall in the mornings when we wake up.

I look forward to some more early morning trips up to the zoo when Lyssa and the kids are here.
