Things To Coo Over

Summer is officially here, and for us we plan to travel to see loved ones, and have loved ones travel to see us. However, we have not observed all of the local places of interest, and since July is booked for us, we have decided to explore as many places as possible, with a start to the zoo just a couple of days ago.

This sea turtle was awesome….


Quack!



I think he knows that all the girls “crush” on him!


Yes, Mommy likes frogs, too!

Lana is reading the map and deciding where we should go next.


A sexy man!


This spot in the zoo was by far the most peaceful place.


I have to admit that I am very impressed with myself, and how well this picture turned out.


This is a serene picture, do you agree?
Wow, look?!



This is an unbelievable image…I love it. And why yes, I took it!


(Hey Jayce, a butterfly just landed on your shoulder!) OMG, this butterfly would not leave Jayce. A few times a zookeeper would come by and get it to fly away.


Yup, there is a butterfly.  How cool is that?


Lana was not sure what to think about the butterfly exhibit.


Amazing details.


Eeeek, It’s back again! 


Hmmm, I guess the butterfly can hang with Jayce for a little while longer.


Such pretty butterflies!

Totally huggable if it would not eat me!


Every zoo trip needs a train ride, Choo-Choo!


Surprisingly, the train ride does not go through the zoo, instead borders the outside and we were able to see a few things that maybe we would not have otherwise noticed.


It was a perfectly relaxing day sauntering through the zoo.


We debated over where to eat dinner, decided on Mexican food, not the greatest pick however. Pictured above is Jayce’s food selection, chili pepper steak and fries of some sort.


We ended the day with a touch of sweetness from Marble Slab Creamery….
