A Day at the Zoo!

The zoo we took them to is in Grand Rapids. It is called "John Ball Park Zoo". It was a very hot and humid day to go, but we were working within a time frame before the Kentucky Bunch had to head back so it was Thursday July 5th or not at all!


This picture is the two adult bald eagles they have there. The kids were impressed with such a large bird and huge nest!


The zoo has an aquarium that you can go in. That is where we found the penguins....lots of them!



Here we are, under a small waterfall. I think this must have been the coldest spot in the entire zoo that day! Sure felt nice.


One of the many varieties of fish in the aquarium.


And this Siberian Tiger was lying very quietly until we showed up to bother him. When he looked at the kids with us is when he decided to lick his lips. Do ya think he was trying to tell us that any one of those kids would have made a great SNACK!!!! LOL

Before I forget, today is Darian's 7th Birthday....Happy Birthday Darian!!!!

Happy Birthday to Darian!

Great photo of that tiger, when I first looked at it small, I thought he had a baby pig in his mouth. lol
Made it big and saw it was his tongue, so glad. I think it's time for an eye exam.
