As if the abundance of pink flesh and curlies weren't enuf to convince us...he (being the FINE specimen that he is)...brought along his "telescope" for *ahem* close-up inspections of the young ladies! Girls...cover up!

Da Zoo!

We spent a sunny, HOT Friday afternoon at the zoo with Jelaine, Anya, Josh & Roman.
Roman, his jeep and his curls!
All the kids watching the grizzly bear.
Grizzly's "snooty" look...
The black/white bear...whatever it was...
Squirrels w/ hairy ears...
All the kids, Anya, Spencer, Roman, Graeme & Josh
Mr Coon...
Gopher, prairie dog, ground hog, whatever...
I'm not sure if being buried up to your ears was a cooler option?

Ms Leopard...too hot & lazy to lift her head...
Ms Tiger...she was a bit worked up and cranky...this was a rare moment when she flopped down.
Alice the camel and her 2 humps...
The water fountain was a bit spaztic and would shoot water over their heads, so they loved it...

You'll see water shooting over Anya's head...we had to drag them away from this "exhibit"...
*sigh*...no respect for Winnie!

A sunny afternoon...

perfectly suited to be in a pool...
