Doesn't he look so friendly?
Report card time again already. Annabelle made A honor roll again, Heaven A/B and Gav AB & 1 C! Not to shabby!! We decided on a day at the Zoo as a reward this time. I haven't been to the Zoo in like....10 years. Probably longer. We had a great time! They have a new addition called Budgiery. Basically you buy these sticks with bird seed glued to them and when you go inside the Budgiery, a billion birds attack you. Annabelle loved it, Heaven loved it over time....Gavin...well he hated it the whole time. Mainly thanks to his Dad who could not resist taunting him....
Cup of birds!

Forced photo...

Gavin was being a good sport about it and posed for a photo....
And then this happened....and he is now scarred for life. Thanks Dad!! 


Bird lady

In the end they both ended up liking it 



After Gavin could take no more, we headed out to see what else the zoo had to offer...
He was so cute and was loving being in the shade. It was SO hot! 

Yes, this is a real person laying with a real baby gorilla!! This is the zoo's newest addition. Her name is  Kigali (no clue how that's pronounced) and apparently she prefers her rest with a human nanny...


Gav and his favorite, Toucan!! 


They always insist on looking thru these....but they're never turned on....

I had just said how friendly this cougar looked...and then it glared at me. RUDE! 

Tiger playing with an ostrich egg...


This was the weirdest  thing ever this monkey was copying John....

See??

Kind of a stretch for a zoo exhibit I think... 



Doesn't he look like a little old man?

Snakes!

Genius.

We still owe Annabelle 2 more AR trips so yesterday I thought I'd escape the "hurricane" madness of Pensacola and cross one off our list. We decided to give Auntie Jenny a visit in her new apartment in Mobile (AU Pharmacy Program...GO JEN!) and let her show us around for a while. We drove around campus for a bit and grabbed lunch at Hero's, which is close to her apartment. It has a very "college" feel to it, and Annabelle felt very "cool" to be out with the ladies. After lunch we headed over to the Explorium to waste away the rest of the afternoon. I love the Explorium, because they change their main exhibits our pretty regularly, so no 2 times are ever the same. Plus, it actually attempts to help the kids LEARN something while they're playing....vs just running around like mad heathens.  Annabelle really liked the kid science area & the "matter" exhibit they have. Especially the soap bubble cloud maker. The poor worker re...

Fish Tale

By
After feeding and watering the dogs for 6 weeks, Annabelle earned herself a fish today! After much debate at Petsmart, she decided on a pink "dragon scaled" beta & a mermaid themed tank. She has named him Poseidon (we're a bit into Percy Jackson right now...for better or worse) though I personally pushed for King Tritian (I mean HELLO it's a mermaid tank!!). She could not wait to get home and get it all set up. Because we (I) underestimated how big the tank we selected is, we set it up in the girls room...as there is no where else to put it. He has lots, and lots of pink decorations...so hopefully he's not too much of a manly man fish.

Carolers

By
The girls Brownie troop went Christmas Caroling this weekend at University Pines Retirement Community. They were absolutely precious. Words cannot express the cuteness overload. Several local troops were there and they sang for about half an hour. The girls have been practicing their songs for weeks, and they did spectacularly. The adorable retiree's gave them rave reviews and they were stopped by several people asking them to come back next year.  Could they be any cuter? When we got home, we thought it only seemed fair to get the dogs in the spirit too..... Kingsley the Great Bayleigh the Princess
