Zoo Outing

With our family getting older, we don't seem to go to the zoo that often anymore. However, one perk that we get from the MBA that Blake did a few years ago is that we are invited to their annual lunch and free afternoon at the zoo. So, after the kids soccer games, and refereeing, we headed to the zoo....and luckily it was a beautiful day.

While waiting in line for lunch, we overheard a current student say, "its so great to have this event after our exams". I leaned over to Blake and told him that it is even better coming to this event being completely finished the program! I think our favorite thing there was petting the rays. Some were a bit overenthusiastic!

Everyone except Devon brought a friend. It was kind of weird...the bigger girls went off on their own.....sure glad that I still have some younger kidlets to enjoy the day with. Melissa and her friend took a camera and ended up making a documentary movie of their zoo experience....so great that her camera does that.


Julia and Channy really enjoyed the lunch.




For some reason, Devon felt he needed to bring his "whaley" on our outing. Glad to report, they both had a great time.

okay, I LOVED touching these guys. They just were smooth and rubbery....so very cool. The would just glide by, kind of like a little water ballet.

Devon was most insistent that he got to pet the shark that swam at the bottom of the pool. His little arm would reach, so Blake had to lift him and dip him in...yuck, I hope that he kept his mouth shut! He was soaked when we finished
