A Bunch of Yahoos at the Zoo

Today a few of us from MOPS met up at the zoo to let the kids check out the animals and have a little fun. It was a little chilly, but no crowds, which is a good thing when you're trying to stay with a group and keep track of toddlers!

We had a good time seeing all the animals, eating lunch together, and playing at the park afterwards. Rainah barely made it home without falling asleep in the car.

Ride 'em, cowgirl

Rainah "baaa-ing"; there was a sheep who was being VERY loud and the kids thought it was hilarious.

So Ugly They're Cute??

You decide!

These little guys were in a nest at my parent's house. I couldn't resist having Dad pull out the ladder so I could try for a few shots. I was on my way back to Grand Rapids, and it was morning, so the light was really harsh, but I got a few fun ones.

LOVE this one... makes me laugh every time I see it

Our Afternoon Visitor

This afternoon as I was bringing Rainah down from her nap, something caught my eye in the front yard. I grabbed my camera, threw some shoes on, and took Rainah out to see ...

This little guy trying to cross our yard

Actually, he wasn't so little

Not the best animal for petting

She didn't stay interested for long- she found a frog and caught him in her bucket
