On the way to the zoo! Reagan is still getting used to her big girl carseat. :)
It's kind of fuzzy, but the best I could get of Adalyn. :)
I grab the camera, Rush gets the stroller. ;)
Not sure what these large birds are but they were walking around right up next to us!
There's a pretty waterfall in the background!
These birds are BEAUTIFUL! I love LOVE LoVe the blues of their feathers. I don't think I could convince Rush to let me have a bird though just because it matched my color theme...
I honestly don't even know what species they are.
Big ol nest!
OKAPI! :)
They are a favorite of mine.
This little guy/gal was just too cute! Makes you want to squeeze it real tight and pet it. :)
I really don't think I need to tell you what this is...
Or this big guy!
Jessica with Addie
Here is where you would hear Rush making his zebra call..."WHOOOP whoop WhOoP!" (You can look that up on Animal Planet! ;)
No two zebras are alike!
The cheetah was lounging and enjoying the beautiful weather as well!
Mason had so much fun at the zoo!
Homo sapiens variety Father (aka Dad, Daddy, Dada, and Pop.)
Can be found everywhere in the world. Range in height, weight, "smartness," and dependability. This variety tends to spend time reliving memories and drinking fermented drinks while watching other Homo sapiens tackle each other. Give them food and a nice Homo sapien var. Wife and they will thrive. They are a long-lived variety as long as they are healthy and don't upset their Wife.
If you come across a great Homo sapien var. Man it is likely he will eventually develop into a wonderful Father. These two are a good example!
Gazelle! Thanks to Dave Ramsey I can't even think gazelle without thinking "Gazelle Intensity!"
Other Ramsonites will get this. ;)
These dudes have some serious horns!
"Quite monkeying around!" Just kidding!
Seeing this ugly guy made me want to start singing Hakuna Matata at the top of my lungs! I of course resisted since I didn't want to be deserted by those in my group today. (They just don't know how to have any fun!) ;)
And of course the lions are near by, but they didn't want to be seen or disturbed so they ignored us humans.
This guy looked very prehistoric, his feet are insanely thick and his feathers look more like hair and WHERE ARE HIS WINGS?!
Hip HOP HiPpItY hOp!
This is Mason's interpretation of a kangaroo! Too cute!
This dude was huge!
Would not want to be stuck with any of his quills!
Kangaroo in a tree? Sure! Why not??
Well these guys give new meaning to "like a bump on a log." ;)
How many turtles can you see?!
(Answer at the end of the post.)
Looking at the birds jumping around like crazy!
I believe it is called a crowned crane??? :/
I do think their first trip to the zoo was a success!
These birds were crazy big! I haven't seen so many large birds as I did today.
I like to take pictures of all sorts of creatures.
Not so pink flamingos!
I think their prarie dogs might have mange...
THIS is a BIG guy!
See his size compared to the people in the background?!
LOVE this picture! They are so happy. :)
Reagan mimicing Rush.
Addie is just a happy girl!
It didn't take long for her to want to be picked up. This is a normal view for me, except there is usually another baby crying as well. LOL
Sitting with Daddy
Mason mowing the grass, he did such a good job that it's GONE! ;)
Reagan loves to push things around, she went all over with that mower.
Adalyn decided to get in on the mower fun!
I think Mason needs a little brother/sister to play with! ;)
:)
Adalyn actually sat on Reagan, but ended up next to her (thankfully!) Reagan is not too fond of her sister sitting on her.
The girls playing with the mower. :)
These squirrel monkeys were all over the place! Very fast and cute (glad they couldn't get too close to me though).
Monkey Mason!
As we were leaving the jaguar decided to give everyone a show and paced back and forth the front of his area.
Whew! It was a FUN day! I'm already looking forward to going back.
Answer: there are 4 turtles in the picture!
