Daddy Took Us to the Zoo!

Yesterday, Christopher's company picnic was held at the zoo.
We haven't gone to one of his picnics in some time, as they haven't been too great.
The last time we went to one it was at Vancouver Lake. There were two small barbecues being used to barbecue food for at least 150 people. Let's just say that we stood in line for an hour and a half and the line didn't move an inch.
When we heard that the picnic this year was going to be at the zoo, we decided to go.
We arrived at 3:00 pm and stayed until 7:00 pm. It was really a lot of fun. The food was great, and it was nice to meet people that Chris works with.
Here are some pictures I was able to get before the batteries died in the camera.
Myles loved looking at all the "a-mals", but especially loved anything to do with fish.

Sea Lions

Penguins

This is what the kids thought of the lovely fish smell in the penguin house

Rhaevyn's videotaking talent displayed :)

Cute little Sea Otter.

Our favorite part of the zoo was a trail we took as we were on our way to the exit of the zoo. It was the Pacific NW trail. It was nice and cool with waterfalls and lots of green vegetation.
Sorry we don't have pictures of it.

This week, Myles has discovered that he really likes his baseball and bat. Although, sometimes we use a bouncy ball for him to hit.

The girls have really been into putting puzzles together.



This is one of their finished products.

Our school books are about to be sent off soon. We keep checking the school website each day to see the progress of the order/shipment. It's almost time for Christmas in August!

Wishing you all a joyful week.
