Zooriffic

The latest adventure of the Dick family was a trip to the Hogle Zoo!! The last time we went to the zoo it was just Ryan, me and a 6 month old Jane!! This time around, we added three new people to our caravan! Of course, we loved having little Beckham with us this time...even though he pooped out of his pants-the biggest, stinkiest poop I had ever seen- and it got all over Christina's stroller (sorry again about that :{). And as you may have guessed, my favorite best friend and sister in the world was also with us with her sweet little Mae! What a wonderful day it was...

Here are Ryan and Jane, complete mesmerized by the monkeys!! They wouldn't even look at me for a picture...
Here's cute Christina and even cuter Mae, we loved having them with us!!!Just like the last time we visited the zoo, I think Jane related to the monkeys on a deeper level. Then I got to thinking, Jane does sleep under a big leaf canopy, she loves to climb on anything that is within reach...including mama and daddy, lately she wants to be naked all the time and she can scream like no one I have ever heard...she really could hang quite well with the monkeys. (Though, of course, she is much more intelligent and beautiful than a monkey...just in case she reads this later on in life...:)
An awful picture of me, but Beckham has a cute smile hidden behind his jacket. We're just chillin with the elephants.
The giraffes were my favorite! They are such amazing "aminimals" (as Jane would say)
A big turtle...he was just cute!
A bird came up really close to us in the bird exhibit. Jane, naturally, was overlly fascinated and we couldn't keep her away from him. She started a frenzy when she began to pet the bird. Suddenly, tons of little kids were petting this frightened little bird...we made sure he was rescued from the pack of wild kids and put safely back into a tree...
Mid-frenzy...poor bird...
As is quickly becoming tradition any time we go anywhere, Jane got to ride some sort of animal. She adored the grand carousel and was completely devastated when we had to take her off.
Another fun adventure and more wonderful memories made!!
