Day 2...The Zoo

So we decided to hit the Zoo on the final day of rest of my mini-vacation. It was a typically refreshing New Mexico July afternoon...who am I kidding, it was extremely hot and miserable, normal for New Mexico in the summer. We were all dragging along at about the halfway point and Jakob at one point decided to dramatically fall to the ground by the gorillas and in a dying voice said to me, "I can't walk, I need to be carried" That never happened and some how he miraculously made it to the end. By the time our 4 hour adventure was over, we were all in the hurry to get back to the air conditioned car and drive home. I was able to get some good pictures of the kids, a few below and also to the side of the page and Katies also posted a few more, including Jakob's above described collapse.


As usual the boys can't stand still
for a picture...

Post #1...

Well, I decided to take a few days off from work this week. Working for Staples, we are about ready to hit our biggest time of the year, Back to School. For those of you outside New Mexico, this may sound a little early, but not only does New Mexico have some of the worst educational scores in the country(this subject could be a whole seperate post by itself, so I won't get started, at least not now), but New Mexico probably goes back to school before any other state in the country(I believe this year it starts back up on August 12th)...So anyways, I decided to take a few days off before work gets hectic and also to spend some time as a family before Kellsie and Logan head back to school...Today was the Botanical Gardens and the Aquarium, tommorrow is the Zoo....

Jakob usually doesn't stand still for a picture unless it is something that he really wants to do. Most of his pictures he is either making faces, giving rabbitt ears to someone, or flashing the "loser" sign, so you either have to catch him off guard or make him believe the picture will turn out really "cool".

Just some random pics from the Bio Park....
