We took a trip to the Zoo a couple of weeks ago. And we went to a living history museum this past weekend. And there's some random shots of the kiddos...
The Zoo
Teagan and Daddy, petting a dog shark.
And here's a dog shark who was very curious about the spectators. We asked the shark expert at the tank and she said he was checking us out. He would rise up out of the water and wiggle around and then swim in a little circle, raising his head up out of the water over and over. It was cool.
Teagan and Zach checking out seals and sea lions. I just love the look on Zach's face, watching his big sis.
And here's ME with the kiddos!
Teagan checking out some ducks
The rest of the zoo pics are all animals. I can share those if ya'll really want to see giraffes, zebras, lions, a red panda, elephants... but I figured my kids were more interesting for now...
Zach taking his first steps
This was about a month ago... right after Labor Day. And he hasn't stopped walking and is getting darn close to running now.

This is a living history museum that is right near my house. I had no clue it offered so much to do for little kids. We had a free admission thing and I think we're going to get a membership because Teagan had a BLAST.
First we played in an indoor area that kind of introduces kids to the lifestyle. It had a train area, a store, a farm kitchen, a farm and garden, etc. And a dress up area for a tea party.
In the kitchen
Teagan churning butter
Zach being like his big sis
Zach looking like a big boy
The tea party
Milking a cow
Then it was on to the outdoor stuff. The animal experience barn was incredible. Young volunteers tell you about the animals and all are available for petting. We met a week old cow, a sheep and baby lamb, ducks, baby chicks, a donkey, some goats.
Teagan holding a baby chick
Out to the houses/village
Trying on hats
Playing with stilts
Dad getting in on the stilt action
Playing with a stick and ring toy.
And this cracks me up. This was completely unscripted- it just happened this way.
Teagan and Daddy being silly together.
And being serious together.
And some random snapshots
Thanks for looking and sorry for the overload- it had been a month since I had downloaded my pics!!
