A trip to the Zoo

We spent the afternoon at the zoo today. The kids had a great time. Unfortunately, we have been sick. It is not fun to to be sick at all, but during the summer it down right stinks! First it was Ava and then Brendan and Paul. (Knock on Wood) I didn't catch it. But anyhow, we spent the past week pretty much at home. Brendan is better now, so the kids and I took the opportunity to do something fun. (Paul is still recuperating)

Ava was kind of afraid to go into the bear cave. She didn't know what to expect , thinking that it was a real bear cave and all. She didn't find a bear in the cave, but we did see some at the bear exhibit. The three bears came right up to the window to get a drink from their stream. It was very cool.

Here is Ava balancing like a mountain lion.

Don't fall off. Her mouth is blue because she had just eaten a blue slush puppy!

Here are the kids in the eagles nest.
