A trip to the Zoo with our Zoo!

We have been studying Africa!  What better way to get to know the continent than to see African animals in a ZOO!

This was a trip that meant more to my kids than ever before!  They understood more about their habitats and special design, mostly because of a book called Marvels of Creation: Magnificent Mammals.

  This picture just makes me love my kids even more…they were all smiling!  A gigantic feat! My daughter acting silly – her regular personality! A family picture – that was pencil sketched.  (I did it all by myself with a photo-program.)   There were too many shadows in the other picture so I tried the pencil sketch…it is different. I don’t know this guy’s name…but he dropped his bamboo stick. So, what is a guy to do…he made a crazy jump into the water to save his bamboo.  He looked little compared to the other guys and gals. I felt like this guy/gal was main honcho!  He never took his eyes off us…kind of protective of his own…reminds me of a Mother – protecting her own.  I kept wondering what he/she was thinking…something like “you humans are weird.” This is the gate…at the end.  The kids loved it! 

Well, I took more pictures but they are on the other camera  – I’ll post more later!
