Trip to the Zoo

Friday, yeah back when it felt like a Spring day. ha ha We made a sudden trip to the zoo. OK the kids begged me until I caved. It was such a wonderful afternoon. We really needed it anyhow. So here's a bit of our fun in photo's.

We also ran into a few friends while we where there. yeah!

Oh come one who doesn't like Meerkats!? lol

All three of my children enjoying the wild life. Nevin is the front, Harrisen pointing, and Miranda shooting with her camera.

This image was shot by Miranda.

Also by Miranda.

My three in the petting zoo. Miranda attempted to capture the goats fighting, but none of the images came out. It's very hard to capture fast moving goats! ;-)

Because we stayed until closing time, the monkeys were just coming back out to play and be active. Gave me a chance to grab a few fun shots on our way out.

So there you have it a glimpse into our day at the zoo. We hadn't been in a very long time. We spent 6 hours there, and saw everything! Even the house and farm, and Amphibian house. WHEW we were really wore out! Still it's one of the nicest times I've had with my kids, just us doing something wonderful together just because, I've had a long while. :-)

Family session with the Smiths

This morning on this less than Spring like day. I met the Smith family for an outdoor session. Today was special for them, and I was really happy to be a part of the celebration. Keeping up with Riley was a whole other challenge to the fun. What a cutie! She is just full of smiles and energy, and I got home grateful for the few shots we managed when she wasn't running away from us. ;-) Her Daddy was amazing keeping up with her. Here's a couple captures from our morning.
