Fort Wayne Children's Zoo

I know all these pics are on facebook too, but here are the
highlights! We had a great day here.  It rained all morning and
stopped as we were walking in the gates!  Perfect timing! 
The afternoon warmed up to very nice sunny and mid 80's!
It was a Monday also, so between the weekday and the rain
it was quiet and not busy at all! 

We had a blast riding the log ride down the river in Australia,
the endangered animal carousel in Indonesia, and the train. 
Makayla got to pet an armadillo, while Lydia got to ride
 the Sky Safari ride with Dad (over looks the African animals)!

Cooling off in Australia after lunch!

Mama with her Joey
 (there were 7 joeys, but this is the only one we saw).

Sleeping Hyena
These things are a lot bigger than we thought!

Bill the Lion was chillin right in front of the glass.
Very cool for Joel and I since the big cats are both of our favorites!

Ina came sniffing too. I think she was bummed glass separated us! :)



 Sea Lion kisses after the show.  Very entertaining!


Train ride around the lake.

August 2012

August was a great month.  Makayla turned 1 and got 4 more teeth,
each day I get 1 day closer to meeting Toothless,
Joel and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary,
we went to the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo,
and we played outside tons since it was finally not 100*!
 
The girls and I took a walk down to our river
and found a whole flock of geese.
They were not happy Jupiter was with us!

July

Without school, an intership, or a job (unfortunately),
we had ample time to play...and play we did!


I always say "A dirty kid, is a happy kid"
(mine must be the happiest of all...they are always dirty!)

Bedtime stories :)

July has been so stinkin hot we have taken advantage of
South Haven, our own kiddie pool,
 and Aunt Julie's pool many times!

Joel's idea of playing with play-doh........



Just chillin...with our blankies...watchin tv



She's a pretty good big sister, reading to her little sister.

"I WANT MORE POPSICLE!!!"

Walking down to check out the river.


Throwing sticks for Jupiter to chase.
