Toledo Zoo

This week has been Spring Break for the kids. We loved having nothing to do all week! We went to the Toledo Zoo one day and the weather could not have been better (we don't get to say that much lately!) Everybody had a blast here are some highlights.



Andy checking the map for our route through the zoo.

Don't worry Estee knows what she wants to see! OK, check out her cute little pig tails. Aren't they adorable? Her first time with her hair back, and in pig tails, she looks so big!

Ride'em cowboys. Ride the turtles boys.
The polar bears were giving us quite the show, they would jump in the water and play with this little ball and swim around. It was really fun to watch them, Estee was riveted for quite a while. She kept trying to tell Dan later that day what we saw at the zoo. She kept saying over and over "bear, wa-wa, ball".

Getting a closer look at the Amazon.
Estee with her cute friend Lucy who is one month younger than her--and taller, but Estee has more hair so I guess it all equals out! They are so cute.

Abby and her friend Ellen who both just hatched out of this giant egg!

Oh, wow Estee and Abby just hatched!

What a fun day at the zoo!

The Zoo

Estee's first zoo visit!

We went to the Toledo Zoo on Monday. Abby and Jake had school off but Andy had to go to school. Andy loves the zoo so much and really wanted to see the komodo dragon that was on display there. We took lots of pictures for him. Abby took her friend Ellen and Jake took his friend Adam. Jake loves the tigers and roared at them through the fence as loud as he could (we did get some looks from other humans at the zoo) but the tigers still just sat there with no reaction whatsoever. We saw lots of people from our church and from FUMCN (Jake's old pre-school) it was fun to see so many faces we knew at the zoo. We met up with my good friend Becky at lunch and had fun finding the komodo dragon with her. Of note: this was Estee's first trip to the zoo; age 7 months. Some of the pictures are here below or you can see all of them at http://picasaweb.google.com/janieward1313/ToledoZooMarch2007.
