The Zoo

The weather here has been awesome this past month. It has been warmer here then I can every remember. We took advantage and went to the zoo with Grammie on Sunday. It was so much fun to take her to the zoo this time around. We went early in the morning before her afternoon nap, which must have been perfect timing because all of the animals were awake. The coolest was the tiger (I think it was one of the cubs~14 months, 200+ pds) was pacing in front of the observation window. No kidding we were about 5 inches from this thing...Autumn was amazed. We also saw a giraffe run, an elephant give itself a dirt bath, the snow leapord was playing with a cardboard box, and in the new polar bear exhibit the two bears were wrestling in the water (which was so cool because you can walk under the water and watch them swim). It was crazy...all the animals were so active. Autumn was so funny...she was watching them all. I think her favorite was the ducks and fish in the pond because she was able to get so close.

Miles was busy busting out the concrete in the backyard to make way for a new patio. I'll have to post a picture of all the hard work he's doing out there. The guys had 4 dump truck loads of cement taken out of the yard, crazy hard work.


Here is a picture of Tessa after running around outside...she fell asleep before she could eat her dinner...funny...
