One thing the boys love to do with Marti is play Mario games on their Nintendo Wii. It is a lot of fun, but sometimes Marti actually does something different with the boys...
We took a trip to the Zoo.
It is all designed to look like the African Jungle. The snow looked out of place for some reason.
The zoo had lots of hands on things for visitors to do...
...like feed a giraffe...
...pet and feed goats, and
milk a pretend cow. That wasn't easy.
Andrew showed a skill we didn't know he had, he's quite a rock climber. He climbed a 50 foot high rock wall 4 times.
While we were at the zoo, we met my long lost uncle.
The family resemblance is remarkable.
You can see that Andrew and my uncle even walk the same way.
Lastly, we saw the elephants. They were kind of just standing around.
Then one elephant came over to us and turned around.
The elephant gave us a quite a surprise.
It didn't smell very good at all!
It is hard living so far away from the boys. We are looking forward to full timing and being able to stay for a long time at a campground just 2 miles down the road from their house. Until then, we'll just have to dream of the fun we'll have down in warm and sunny South Carolina.
Thanks for visiting and feel free to leave a comment.
I would use that dump picture as a "THE END"! :)
