This is how little lulu started her day at the zoo! She must still be dealing with jet lag.
A beautiful pair of trumpeter swans.
Sophie and Jacob. I love 'rear' shots.
Sea lions at play.
The boys are chasing a goose--you can see his wing span. (Remember, you can click on the images to see them full size.)
Matthew looking so grown up. Josh, Walt and Jenny ahead of him.
Conference time with a couple of the boys.
Love this gorilla image.
Jacob and Luna testing each other. Luna calls Jacob 'the baby.' (He is four months younger than she!)
A pair of vultures. Cool image.
Luna, Bas, Emily, Matthew, Jacob, Noah. Some kind of very giant turtle.
I love these tunnel shots. Emily is on the left, Katie on right and Walt far ahead with Jacob in the stroller.
Bas, Luna, Katie.
A pair of hippos at rest. I also love water reflection images. Today was a beautiful day.
Luna and her pretzel snack. She's so goofy about having her picture taken--as soon as she sees a camera, she will turn her head.
Cool picture of Matthew.
Lunch time.
We went back to the sea lions show. The kids loved it. Well. We all did.
Looks like another conference.
Love those purple trees.
Another rest and snack break.
WOW!! Gorgeous image. Beautiful McCaw.
Noah really liked this fellow and wanted his picture taken with him!
We walked right in with the kangaroos. Must have been 20 or 30 of them. Fun!
Such beautiful scenery. This Zoo is really great.
I decided I wanted a group photo. Good luck.
Well, most of them look pretty good.
It got worse.
Last Zoo photo. Such a pretty little girl.
little lulu loves her mama
mirror, mirror on the wall. . . .
my hands are too small to pick up all these balls!
Snow White and her apple
let's make music!
the bravest of the brave. (Noah, Josh, Allie, Sophie and Grampa) They did the Mamba!!! Even Noah! Emily did it last year--once was enough!! Katie and Bas did it--Katie's favorite ride!
naptime for the toddlers. It was a long, tiring day, but the weather was perfect and the sky was bright Kansas blue.
conference. Where to next???
the rest of the committee
Bas and Walt waiting for the decision
the guys. the rest of us were making our 'candy stop.' They have the best fudge and this place is always a stop for us. Everybody gets to pick out something. . . .
Matthew likes the lollipops--the really big ones!
Whoops.
It was worth repeating!!!
Matthew can hardly wait till he's big enough to take on the Patriot. It's going to be awhile!
Luna's into chasing the boys! Uh-Oh. I got this on video also. It was cute!
Jacob--always so thoughtful. . . .
That baby must be coming soon--really soon! I can't believe Jenny is maintaining the pace she's doing. Tomorrow is the baby shower. (Caleb is due in about two weeks.) I love parties almost as much as I love amusement parks with the kids! What a great day this was. All of our family together. A wonderful blessing.
