A Zoo Within A Zoo!

When our family goes to the zoo for an afternoon, I am sure all kinds of things go through people's minds. Our children are right at home among the chimpanzees and the giraffes. Until this spring, Micah truly thought we were visiting Noah's cousins (the monkeys) when we would go:) And on occasion, I am sure someone has thought our brood closer to wild animals than little angels. But this trip was different, this time we visited our favorite zoo, with one of our favorite families, The Walfords. Now you see where I am going with the zoo analogy? The kids did great and we enjoyed our day even if it was so hot that most animals were sleeping or camped out in the shade. Hey, when you travel with your own zoo, who needs animals?

Where to go first?

Can you see the one red lemur and the 4 ring-tail lemurs?

Seems counterproductive doesn't it?

The wild animals playing in their natural habitat:)

More of the same.

Now all domestic:)

The Walfords looking like a National Geographic Cover!

A very realistic snake sculpture.

Ahhh, the joy of large families, everyone helps out, no matter who you belong to:)

Now back to civilization, girls in one van, boys in the other!
