Weekend.......part one!

This weekend Jamey's parents are in town with our niece, Taylor. So, yesterday we grabbed our other niece, Zoe and went to John Ball Park Zoo. I hadn't been there in awhile and was surprised at how much it had grown and all of the animals they had! Here are some pictures so you can pretend you were there with us from home! One last thing I'll say about the zoo!! It brought out one of my weird quirks.....(my thing with bad smells). Man, that place can curl a nose up....pure ripeness!!!

Walkin' in

Flamingos .......... the stinkiest of them all (I was a little worried when we walked in as this is the 1st exhibit...)

Spider Monkeys

Owl (whose eye turned out red in the picture). He didn't look too friendly.

Our nieces, Taylor and Zoe. It was nice they could re-connect since the wedding where they were flower girls together!

The girls with Uncle Jamey!

Bears just chillin' out in the water! "Can we get some snacks up in here?"

More chillin'

Umm yeah! They were spray painting kids hair. These two couldn't resist!

"He looks really lonely and sad," said a little boy. I nodded my head, agreed and quickly walked away!

Here are a few of his other friends

In line for the Camel ride

Off they go!

Good times

End of the ride.....how fun!

After the zoo we went back to Jim, Jan and Taylor's hotel so the girls could go swimming!

When we got home a baby bear was on our couch! J/K, it's just Big Ern!



Stay tuned for part deux after today's excursion!
