Zoo

I was so proud of Bryson for riding an animal on the carousel! (He usually chooses the "couch", a.k.a. bench!) Even so, this giraffe didn't go up and down like the other animals!!!

Getting way too close to the poison dart frogs! There was no glass!!!

Brushing the goat

Brushing the goat's face ;-)

Bryson was tired of me taking his picture - Here he's yelling, "CHEEEEESE!!!

A few weeks ago, our Mommy & Me group went to the zoo. I absolutely love the zoo, and it was fun to be with friends and enjoy the beautiful weather. Casey led us to a new part of the zoo (well, not new - but new to us) which included a tropical rain forest and a petting zoo. The kids loved the petting zoo - and I did, too! Unfortunately, our visit was cut somewhat short because the zoo didn't have running water that day (no concessions, no lunch, no potties, no hand washing @ the zoo = ewww)! Still, it was a very fun trip!

OUR pumpkin's better than YO pumpkin!

Our jack-o-lantern was so cute this year - I wish we could keep it for next year! Carter wanted to have a cat pumpkin (shocker!), and Kevin said to draw anything we wanted (not limiting ourselves to triangles & traditionally easy-to-carve designs) and he would prove his surgical skills. ;-) So, ... I drew the cat, Carter scooped out the yucky insides, and Kevin did an awesome job carving it! WOW!!! (In this last pic, we decided to see what it would look like with a firecracker inside! Why not???)
