Right at home

We went to the Zoo today and felt right at home. Crazy animals, funny sounds, strange smells....you know how it is with the little ones! The weather could not have been more perfect. According to the zoo, this is the best weather because all of the different animals want to come out and play where we could see them.  We had a great view of each set of animals, except for the grizzly bears. They were probably busy in the woods....

This is the best we could do posing with the giant pumpkin.

I just want to pet the polar bear! What's the big deal!

Oooh, do you see what I see?

The giraffes, zebras, and ostriches came up so close we did not need the binoculars, but the kiddos thought it was fun.

Same statue, different kids.

Point a camera at Ben and you have about a nanosecond to click a smiling picture as he says "cheeeee."
