Zoo #2






So, we took our second family trip to the zoo yesterday. I took the boys once by myself, and it is not so easy to take pictures when I am trying to keep up with both boys. It was gorgeous outside and we had fun walking around looking at a few animals. Micah was a fan of the meerkats this time. They really are quite fascinating animals. One will stand as the lookout while the others run about. When they sense a threat to the rest of the group (it was an airplane yesterday), they will signal with a bark and the others will dive in their holes on command. They won't come back out until the lookout of the group signals that it is safe. So, there you have it: your science lesson for the day! Owen also got to take his first ride on the carousel (not in my arms). He was a bit scared at first, but once he saw how much fun we were all having, he joined in with his smiles and giggles. You might be able to notice Owen's haircut under his visor. I wasn't planning on getting his haircut yet, but I figured I may as well knock it out while I was getting Micah's done. I didn't even have my camera, but sometimes you just have to take care of business. He did fine after we snagged him a cherry dum dum. He forgot all about the scissors once he tasted the sugar! He looks so handsome and more and more like Micah with his new do!
