Zooness

Everyone but Josh has been sick over the last couple of weeks. We've been spending a lot of time being cooped up in the house, so on Sunday we decided it was time to have a little fun. We headed to Happy Hollow early on Sunday morning and had a blast. Many highlights, but the main one was seeing the zoo's coveted jaguar up close and personal. As it paced back in forth in front of us (with a very nice glass barrier), Bea decided she wanted to show her stuffed bow-wow to it. She held it to the glass, and as the jaguar paced by her, it tried to take a chomp off of its head. Now THAT was pretty crazy. I've got many pictures to share...

Here we are at the petting zoo. Olivia was too scared of the goats, so I held her while taking pictures:


Riding the merry-go-round (at least 5 times that I remember):

Me and the girls (NOTICE OLIVIA'S VANS??? She finally fits in those - six months later):


This picture might have been just perfect if a certain someone wasn't picking a winner:


Seriously, dad, I don't need your assistance:


On a ride together for the first time (Disneyland, here we come!):


Perhaps my favorite photo of the entire trip:
