Zoo Outing, Spring Break 2011

Just thought I would share some random shots from the zoo yesterday.  We are on spring break right now, and actually had a very pretty couple of days.  The zoo was calling to us, so we answered the call of the wild and headed out. 

My kids love all the animals, I took a few shots but, tried to take pictures mostly of the kids. 

Lion, Connor's favorite.

Hyena

Excited three year old!  lol  Lauren

Cutest, toothless 6 year old! Connor.  Did I mention the day before the zoo he had his front FOUR bottom teeth pulled!

See proof!  He had to have them pulled his big boy teeth were almost in!  What a brave sweet heart!

Penguin, Lauren's favorite.

Model riding the carousel.  This was the high light to the visit.  My kids love the carousel, but at two bucks a ride they get one each.

Water Buffalo, the female just had a 79 lb baby!  Yikes!

Man these two are cheesy little posers!  Yes, Lauren is wearing her pj's, I pick my battles.  She dresses her self, so I don't fight her.

Connor hung on for dear life, not that he was gonna fall off, but he doesn't take any chances!

I love this one of him.

My little chub of love.  She's gotten a lot rounder lately, I think she's getting ready for a growth spurt.

Thanks for stopping by! xx

What Makes You Smile?

These two do it for me.

Bear Hunting...In the Bedroom?

Here is the scene tonight at the Type A house, two cute kids hunting bear in my bedroom.  In my bed at that.  The used the pillows and extra blankets to make a blind.  The both have their own 'shotguns', circa random toy store...Lo's even has plastic ammo.  I was really lucky they let me photograph them on the 'hunt', you aren't supposed to take pictures, it can scare the bears.

I'm not sure how they came up with this, probably Connor.  He keeps asking for a gun of his own, and can't wait to be ten so I will let his Papa take him shooting.  He has shot a BB gun at a friends house, and I was told there was parental supervision.  I know, I know, I'm not in the running for 'Mom of the Year'...I was actually asked in advance if he could shoot and go four wheeling with them.  He rode on the four wheeler with an adult and he wore a helmet.   I'm not all that bad?

Should I be concerned they want me to play the roll of the BEAR?

One nice thing about the hunt, I get to watch The Good Wife while they are waiting on the BEAR!!!

Thanks for stopping by, don't forget my PARTY tomorrow!!!!
