mr. m. & the zoo

We decided to brave the toasty weather
- and the crowds-
to show Mr. M. around our
much adored, and much visited petting zoo.
(He had never been before)

It was a tad on the warm side.

Can you smell that special
"sweaty little boy" smell?
It was there- in all its glory.

Even G was too hot to smile for me.

Mr. M. gave N some much requested fishing lessons.
(There was no way I was going to do that....
they give you REAL worms to put on the hook.
What happened to popcorn, or fake bait?
Come on...it's mostly mommies here on the weekdays!)

And yes...they caught one!

Enjoying a very needed cool treat.
N decided he didn't want to eat any other colors
other than orange and red........
at the bottom of the stick.

Mr. M. tackled that for him.
What a daddy!

Happily eating the red.

Hat girls.
(G sticking out her tongue-
this little girl makes some serious faces).
