For Erica's birthday Erik took the kids to camp out over night at the zoo.
It was pretty wild having the whole zoo to themselves.
Erica thought this was so interesting.
Erica loves elephants.
I asked her what's this-elephant scales of course!
This was certainly interesting-it looks like it's wearing a do-rag...
Right after they arrived at the zoo, Saturday night, I get a call to come right away and get Evan because he broke his arm. Well, Evan didn't want to leave so he made it all through the night and until noon the next day before getting to the ER. Sure enough-a fractured arm. Poor guy, he has an insane ability to cope with pain-no
Tylenol, nothing. Here's Evan re-enacting his accident. The ER put on a half cast-that lasted about a week.
Erica trying to get a picture of herself with a goat.
Evan, cradling his broken arm, found a seat and then this goat found him and wouldn't leave. He must have known Evan needed some TLC.
Ha ha, leave it to Owen...
...and a
mercat.
I learned something really cool about porcupines-this is what the kids told me, "if you get stuck by quills-cut the tops off and they will pull out easily because they are hollow-like a straw with water when you put your finger over the top the water stays, that's how the porcupine quills are." So, if you get quills in you...cut the tops off!
Lawn ornaments.
Okay, there is actually a really funny story behind this. This stray found a Slim Jim can in our yard and got his head stuck in it. It was hysterically funny watching the poor cat. Ever since then Erica has been trying to recreate it so she could get pictures. I don't think this poor cat will ever learn.
It's even funnier in person.
I promise he's fine, he was back the next day for more.
