The perfect little zoo

We went to Michigan this past August, Brandon was there the first week and then back to work in Texas with the kids and I left to have fun. One of the first few days we were there we went to a little zoo in Birch Run, the perfect size for the kids with a lot more animals than we were expecting.

We are here!!!!

Logan my little stud, looking for all the animals.

Izzy, do you see it??

20110816_5428

Moo Moooo, yep that’s pretty much what my kids say instead of cows, Logan is Mooing in this photo.

Madison is such an animal lover, with all of her little quirks it amazes me every time she is fearless about touching any animal. My children love animals and their sounds.

This gigantic rabbit freaked me out so I let Brandon handle it while Logan and I went a different way.

20110816_5456

DUCKS!!!! According to the girls if it looks anything like a duck or a bird it is a duck 99% of the time.

I can just about read Madison's brain here…Mama how do I get down there…I need to be there now?!

20110816_5490

Feeding the ducks, swans, geese, whatever is around…even a turtle that my girls loved.

20110816_5491

Logan and Mimi feeding away, Logan was throwing the food in like a pro.

20110816_5495

He reminds me of Mr. Ed, Wilbuuurrr.

This beautiful tiger woke up as our children were approaching…imagine that! They now know officially what a tiger sounds like and they practice every single day.

20110816_5531

Hey there Mr Tiger, wanna play? Logan loves all animals and is so excited with every new one he sees.

20110816_5539

The girls were not the happiest being pulled away from feeding the deer, something Brandon and I took for granted growing up in Michigan.

Algigacors, yep honey those are algigacors.

20110816_5582

Not sure if Logan is amused or unsure of his surroundings here

20110816_5583

The girls wanted to go in with the turtles, sweet girls loving on everyone and every thing.

Madi Belle would sit on a swing all day if you let her and she had a professional pusher.

A long long time ago…

……we would update frequently on this thing we call a blog.  Yes we have been horrible or I have been horrible as Brandon is refusing to write another blog post.  There is a lot to update on however here are a few photos for now.

The girls LOVE dressing up and here is one of Elizabeth in a favorite.
