Animals Everywhere...Part 1

Isabelle did officially have to get a cast. She does have a buckle fracture. The doctor said it could break all the way through very easily...so a cast for at least 4 weeks! YUCK! What a bummer way to start summer.

So, we filled the end of May & the month of June with some amazing animal field trips (all our adventures included shaded or indoor activities - no water/pools involved)....we went to a safari zoo that was very up close & personal. It was amazing. The kids got to hold a Burmese Python. It was huge - but very friendly they assured us! The snake was as long as putting the 2 kids end to end. It was enormous! This not so friendly black bear, was very quiet while we viewed her but she did not like the trainer that was giving us the tour. She had her eye on him.

Can you see his spots? This was a black jaguar, I think. I just remember the guide saying that it had spots, but I couldn't see them anywhere...until I got home & looked at my pictures.

A 5 yr. old timberwolf...


A great grizzly...again, these pics are not zoomed in. We were very close to each animal. It was truly amazing.
These white tigers were beautiful. We had never seen a white tiger, so this was a real treat. This tiger had 3 baby tiger cubs - well babies that were quite large.
After our trip to the zoo...dad went turkey hunting...only 2 days left in the season, he saw so many turkeys and had a fun morning. We are so proud of our dad!


After dad's hunt we headed to a local festival, where the kids had so many fun activities...

Petting zoo...the kids do miss their chickens, but mom is NOT ready have more children in the form of baby chicks at this point!
