A trip to the zoo!!!

The kids loved climbing on these bronzes thoughout the zoo!
We got to see the elephants eat some lunch!
This is another bronze statue. Nadia called it "Lumpy"

like in Pooh's Heffelump Movie!
Nadia looking at a white lion. (You'll see the lion in another picture.)
All the kids and daddy at the white lion's cage.
This is the lion!!! He was sleepy, but we got to see him yawn
and see his big long tongue. Livi then kept sticking out her tongue!
By the way, Brandon took this picture which I think turned out great!

The kids all loved the zebras. This was one of Livi's favs!
Kerrin looking at the stinky flamingos. They are pretty but smelly!

It was a super fun day! We had a blast!

Balloon fun!!!

Nana had just come from a primary activity that she was in charge of and they had rented a helium tank. So she came over on her way to return it and blew up balloons for the kids! they had a ball as you will see from the pictures!
Nana and Livi
Nadia liked to try doing it herself!
Happy girl!
This was the scene most of the time Nana was here! My four little ones all gathered around her to watch what she was doing! I love this picture!
My arm is floating!!!
