A DAY AT THE ZOO!

On Monday, we went to the Zoo

with Candy, her nieces, & Landon.

We had a great time

and saw a lot of animals

that we didn't see on Reed's

1st trip to the Zoo.

Reed and I were worn

out at the end of the day,

but it was definitely worth it!

We started off with the Lions

and Tigers, but they were

pretty boring considering

it was nap time. So, we

then headed to the barnyard

animals. They were a big

hit! When we first got to

the barn area, about 3 or 4

chick, chicks (as Landon

called them) came up to us.

To be honest, they kind of

creeped me out. I was afraid

they were going to start running

toward us and start pecking!

Reed loved them...as you can see...

Reed tried his best to touch them.

Reed & Landon checking out the goats.

Trying to pet the Donkey,
which they finally accomplished.

Reed trying to pet the Donkey again.

Landon & Reed riding the cow.

(Check out Landon's arms around

Reed...aren't they sweet!)

Reed inside an egg.

He's such a good sport!

Taking some time to pose for

a few pictures...humoring the mom!

Landon pulling Reed in the wagon.

Reed found out very fast that the

bench was hot. He didn't put his

hands back on the bench again.

He's so smart!

Another photo opportunity...

Reed & Landon watching the Panda

eat its lunch! Reed was so funny

because he'd point to all of the animals.

I love the way this Panda was sitting.

Peek-a-boo

I thought this turned out to be a cute picture.

We worked hard for it! We were making

so much noise trying to get the boys to

both look at the camera!

Reed doing his Famous Lion Roar!

One of the Polar Bears playing with a ball.

I must admit...I loved watching the polar bears.

I keep hearing about how we need to save the

polar bears from Global Warming, and now,

I know why! They are incredible to watch.

Reed and Landon enjoyed them too!

Watching the Polar Bear swim.

They would swim right past the glass,

then push off with their paws.

Reed watching a sea lion.

Candy and I felt bad for this

sea lion because a little boy

kept putting his gum on the

glass moving it up and down.

The sea lion followed it everywhere.

Reed thought it was entertaining though.

Loved this pic!

Thanks Candy for a wonderful day!
