Spring Break 2009

Boy this week did go by fast. We had plans to go to the park and have a picnic. However it is raining this morning, and changing over to snow later this afternoon. So we will have a picnic in the living room, and a movie with popcorn. We were able to have some fun outside this week, we went to the zoo.



Joey standing on the elephant.


















We saw a peacock, and hoped he would open his feathers.















Sadly he did, in the shade.














But the flamingos were in the sun. However they were all asleep.




















We only saw the mom otter for a very short time. As you can read she was taking care of her babies, in the building.

Also, Joey was able to read most of the sign himself, such a good reader.













How many raccoons do you see? We laughed because they were all together in that one part of the tree.


















Mommy and Joey by the waterfall.



















Beautiful daffodils remind me that warm weather is on the way. I wish I could have brought them all home with me. They were all over the zoo, what a huge vase I would have needed.









Yes I know it is just a goose, however it had Louise trapped on the bridge for several minutes. Everytime someone tried to walk around him, he would open his mouth at them. As if he was going to attack and walked towards them. Joey walked around the goose and took Aunt Louise's hand and helped her around him.

We named him Freddy the Frighting Goose!







Now this is what I call a "catnap". I guess they were sleeping off their lunch.









Hello Mr. Giraffe. He was looking for some crackers. Iwas up on the feeding deck, and he was getting his fair share of food.
















He is 20 feet tall, just huge!



















This is the snake house, I used the zoom to get the picture of the building. While Louise and Joey went in to see the snakes I sat outside watching the swans fight with the geese. Much more exciting than some yucky snake, eeewwww.
