The Zoo, of course

Aunt Heather and I took the kids to the zoo today. It was a bit chilly but at least the rain held off. Of course, over break, we needed to get to the zoo. Funny, the kids are going with Daddy and Uncle John tomorrow.
Lovely Leah smelling the tulips :)
Liz must have a strong nose - this is as close as she needed to be to smell the flowers.
Instead of smelling the tulips, Patrick picks one. Ugh,Lovin' the elephants.
The girls are sooooo cute together. Here they are discussing the snow leopard. It was quite a discussion. Elizabeth got so hung up on it that she told Daddy all about it at dinner. We don't know what the discussion was about, but Liz mentioned Leah and snow leopard a whole lot.
I think over their lifetime there will be a lot of this picture. Elizabeth just got tired and laid down. Everyone needed to go around her, as she let them know. Leah was a good friend and tried to coax Liz up.
Patrick sulking by the tiger. He got in trouble with me just before this. At least the tears are gone.
Here's Davis man after he walked for a while and tired himself right out.
So, of course, we needed to pose on the tiger. Because we have never posed on the tiger before?? The same bunch?? There was a large group of tweens ahead of us, part of zoo camp, who were quite fussy about their pictures. And then a family after them. The kids did a great job of waiting their turn patiently. And, after all that, I didn't manage to get a picture where all three look their best. I did get three pictures though, ironically, where one out of the three looks good in each one. So, I posted all three. This is Elizabeth's best shot (sounds like America's Next Top Model :)
This is Leah's best.
So I think this is Patrick's best shot. He was more concerned about growling like a tiger than looking nice for a picture.
And, of course, we have to pose as penguins. All the times we come to the zoo they NEVER tire of this either.
I see the penguin! I think he is coming this way!
There he is!
We'll follow him where ever he goes!
