Zoo Take Too

Well my friend Amee and I had been trying to plan a zoo trip with our munchkins for a little bit and we decided it would be fun to do it while my Mom and Rus were in town!
We loaded up our strollers and wagons full of picnic goodies and headed out into a fine and clear autumn like day to visit all the animals with our little animals in tow.

One of my favorites was our visit to the Lorakeet House. Riley, Oliver, Mom and I shared a cup of nectar between us so the birdies would favor us and I went a little camera happy...they are so beautiful! When Fletcher is older I know he will enjoy them too!

Riley was very enthusiastic about mingling with the lovelies...and just as enthusiastic about them being OFF of her ;0)

Mom managed to be a big favorite with them...most likely because she was very still and told them they were beautiful...I would hang around that too!

The whole time were were in there I had a lovely hat...a hat that I was feverishly hoping had gone to the little birds room before he landed on my head.
While we were in the Lorakeet House Miss Amee got to play with the little meatball. When we came out they were enveloped in a halo of sunshine, Fletcher just recently risen from a stroller nap...had to snag a photo!
While we were visiting the lion's (you can see one in the background) I snagged a quick photo of Oliver which was quite a feat! That boy hardly stood still for more than a second the whole time were were there! I think Miss Amee had a good nap when they got home ;0)
I tricked Russel into a good picture as well...looking all debonair to boot!
Our brilliant boy somehow managed to both wiggle out my mostly full bottle of LifeWater from the cup holder, and manage to unscrew it in the process. In his triumph he dumped it all over himself while we were visiting the camels and the elephants, so he wasn't too awfully pleased during this family photo since he was soaked from the waist down...at least it wasn't camel spit...

We had a fantastic time and needed a nap ourselves by the end of it...thanks for inviting us Miss Amee!
