PENGUINS!!!

Andrew had Columbus Day off of school so we gathered the gang & enjoyed one last blast at the zoo. The girls enjoying their free dum-dums.
Andrew is trying out his new birthday camera from his godparents in the background. Another big hit! We saw lots of friends, neighbors, & classmates there
AND these new penguins!!!

In all the times we've gone to this zoo, I have NEVER seen the caribou awake, much less walking & eating. Lots of the normally sedentary animals were on the move: the red panda, scurrying armadillos, burrowing ground hogs, hopping wallabys. Sure made it a lot more thrilling!

Look at all those eagles!

(Now if only they had the bald eagle mask at the gift shop that I was on the hunt for. Sold out. Andrew insists on it as a Halloween costume. Anyone have an eagle ensemble laying around? A dark brown sweatsuit or beak we could borrow???)

Teresa is such a crazy runner... kudos to the inventor of the stroller.

Honey, I shrunk the (neighborhood) kids Make yourself comfy, Macy.

Spiders

I've never seen a triple yolk before. =]
