Kansas City Zoo

How'd. This picture is for family and friends back in Utah/Texas. We miss you and just wanted to let you know that we are doing great. As you can tell, we are all healthy {even Miss Avery's ear infection has subsided} and having a fun adventure out in the midwest. Yes, sometimes we feed our child brownies for breakfast and ask her to smile with a full mouth. We are working on the manners.

Our trip to the zoo was a success. Beautiful weather, great company, not over crowded, 

and Tuesdays are dollar off days... woo hoo.

I am pretty sure that miss avery's favorite parts, besides seeing some crazy looking creatures, 

were the daddy time and multiple playgrounds. 

This girl can slide and swing for hours.

We met some new "friends" during the trip. 

Avery didn't pass up the chance to have staring contests with any animal 

that would welcome the challenge. Slow and steady wins the race. 

Avery was neither, therefore the tortoise comes out on top again.

She is at that age were she is mimicking anyone and everyone. 

Can be a scary stage to think about all the influences around her molding that little mind. 

But recently, it has been hilarious to seat back and watch.

There were these big murals of animals that people would pose in front of for a good picture.

Avery had to try it out. Such a natural. 

Though the zoo left us with achy feet and slightly red faces,

 all in all the chance to enjoy one another and 

watch our lil one discover new things was priceless.

I know that you can't see the entire tigers' cage but it was tiny for such big animals... poor things. 

But then again, I rather see them in the small cage than out and about. 

I am picky when it comes to caged animals and zoos. 

If you are going to pluck them from their surroundings at least surround them with familiarity.

Not a 12x12 metal and rock container. 

I am off my soap box.

Enjoy the rest of your week. It should be raining here for the next 6 days... I am actually excited.

It's way better than snow! Nothing beats warm rain. It should be experienced at least once in your life. 

It is the kind that your mom would let you play in for hours 

without worrying about you catching pneumonia.
