The Zoo

We went to the zoo like a month and half ago but I'm just blogging about it now. We met my sister and niece and nephew there and had a great time except for a peacock poop incident which I'll tell you about later on down the blog.












The gang ready to explore....









I love this picture of the guys! Max and Micah both adore Matt. They think he is the coolest and I do too.











every time we go to the zoo the otter is sleeping. This time he was out swimming and it was fun to watch him.













ahhhh.........the sun feels so good!















The Butterfly house at the Saginaw Children's zoo is nice but small.







I really like this picture








Max is the butterfly whisperer. Every time we go to a butterfly house, he always just walks over and picks them up. Nobody else could get a butterfly to sit on our finger.












Even for peacocks the decision between diet and regular can be difficult.






















The boys love the train at the zoo.












a nice easy ride











There is a lot to think about on quiet train rides through the zoo.
















Here here























Drive it like you own it Micah.









Max's turn.






































its great when you go to the zoo and all the animals are out.















I think they are sizing each other up.

















These bunnies where so fluffy!





















Chillin like the cool guy he is.








































We're finally to the peacock poop incident. Max saw the poop on the ground and for some reason thought it was something else besides peacock poop. So he reached down to grab it and it got all over his hand so of course, first instinct is to rub it on your pants. I got his hands cleaned up but didn't have another wipe on me for his pants so this is what happened.....





























He was so upset about it, he picked some leaves off of a plant and started cleaning his pants.























































































































































































Then Max stepped in water and was really upset. we had a fun time at the zoo but Max had a couple of difficult episodes he had to work through.











































Thanks to Matt the boys got to get their "tatoos". Aunt Steph had no cash so Matt saved the day! I think I still owe him a couple bucks now that I think about it.






























































I was surprized that Micah sat still for as long as he did for this.


























































Max went alligator


























































Obviously the right choice, look how cool he is!






















































Micah went frog. It kind of ended up all over him but it was fun while it lasted.






























































How high can you jump?




















































They are in close proximity and fighting. It does happen! I love it!








We had a great time even with the peacock poop.

Your boys are growing so fast! I love the pics! We bought an annual membership there again this year and go often. Let me know next time you are in our area! BTW, did you guys get to see the baby Peacocks? There were 7 of them following their mama last time we were there, so sweet!
