The Zoo

We went to the zoo and had a ball. Owen and Tucker never stopped running, unless, of course, there was a cool animal to look at. I took lots of pictures, but most of them look like this one below: the backs of the boys as they run to find the next thing.

Ed liked being in the stroller until Kimber came along. She got in behind him and was trying to take a nap which ment Ed lost his back rest, so Grandma carried him the rest of the time.

If you weren't fast with a camera you couldn't get any pictures of the boys together. This one was just luck.

As was this one. Although they liked riding the lion and the tiger they were just both so excited to be there that they couldn't hold still.

Edgar really liked holding on to the bars when we were looking at animals. He would stand on the cement and grab ahold. I'm not sure he ever acutally saw any animals, but he was enjoying himself.

Owen, on the other hand, liked looking at the animals and wished the bars weren't there. Here you see him trying to chew his way into the tiger cage.

He wanted to get all the animals and play with them. :)

This was our best animal picture. The tiger looked right at us as i was taking it.

Hailey was trying to take a picture of Owen where he looked "normal" the whole time. In all of her shots he was turning, sticking his tounge out, opening his mouth wide, squinting, etc. Tucker likes to smile for the camera, but Owen likes to run away so I'm not sure she ever got a good picture.

Oddly, this was one of the boys' favorite attractions. We had brought water with us but the vending machine was just so cool...all those buttons you could push!

I wanted a picture with me and Ed. The only way to get him to look at the camera and be happy was to have him chew on my finger. so if you look closely you'll see my hand in his mouth.

Then i tried to get one of my little family (Carson was at work so he missed this experience). This was the best we got. Owen was making some kind of noise that sounded like "Whaaaa" and was trying to run away. I like the picture because it shows off what my son is really like.

Last shot of the boys together. One would stand next to the tiger while the other ran to the lion, then they would switch. Torie was trying to get one of both boys and her, but i don't think it ever happened.

Last, but not least, especially in the weight catagory, Ed sitting by the ducks. Isn't he cute!
