After picking Mima and Grandpa Scott from the airport (from their vacation to their home in Montana) we headed to the zoo! The kids had been anticipating this trip for weeks! Even tho Grandpa and Mima were EXHAUSTED (having been up since 3:30AM our time) they were reading to party (so to speak!) First we checked out the flamingos and the then we saw the monkeys. Oli was just interested in snacks. Here they are watching the swinging apes.
Here's my own swinging ape. This is what a 3 year old does when we are watching the bats (do nothing). Probably far more exciting.
Aurelia was armed with her Uncle Mikey camera and shot anything that moved. We'll have to post her viewpoint of the day later on.
Oli is as cut as a bug. Here's the proof!
Lunchtime involved sandwiches, icees and hanging out at the wall.
Did I tell you we're thinking of changing Oli's name to Linus? He certainly does a good impression (notice he has TWO gas. VERY important).
While watching the giraffes, we discovered that the young can be as irritating to their mothers as human children are to us. This little guy kept butting his momma's head so finally she started swinging back. It didn't look like love to me, but whatever.
Here's cutie face posing with the "toy" he helped decorated with goat's wool for the lions. Aurelia helped too.
Aurelia WAS wearing her cute new cowgirl boots, from Montana, but here they are off as she shows us how an elephant trumpets. I liked how this photo made the elephant look as if it were trying to take her hat.
Ah- and here we are at the end of the day making our souvenier penny. See the cute boots??
Back at the home-front (on a different day, even) Ezra and Oli get as close to fishing as they've ever come. Good practice for later, right?
And here are Aurelia and Mima snuggle-laughing.
What a great day, Thanks Mima and Grandpa Scott!! We love you!
