Prez Week

The grands are out of school this week for President’s Day Week.

We’d planned to go somewhere or do something with them each day 

 Can you spot all 5 monkeys apes?

but a big storm is (allegedly) heading our way, with very low temps (for us) and rain,

Australian Walkabout - the emu got close enough to almost brush against Leanne 

so we headed to the zoo on Tuesday

Ready to run if the emu comes their way

and plan to hang out at home, warm and dry, the rest of the time. 

Grateful we have such a nice little zoo close by 

Didn’t notice when I took this but Donovan’s in the background, laying on the ground

and the grands never (so far) get tired of going,

even if their favorite thing is playing in the sand and sliding down the ant hill. 

Thistle

Had lots of time for flower pics as Jac and I slow-walked to the car, her crying all the way, because she wanted to feed the giraffes and the line was looooooong and sloooooooow so we said no. 🙄

The fact that, every. other. time, she’d get to the front of the line and refuse to participate might have factored in too . . . 

P.S. Every zoo trip, Donovan gets a new snake. So far he has 3.5 -

Donovan put them to bed before dinner

Feeding Lemon a mouse lollipop.
