Don't Feed The Bears

It is best not to do this with a real bear :)

Clara hugging her giraffe that she LOVES that Grandma and Grandpa got her at the gift shop. She carried it around like a baby and I have no doubt this will be a favorite for years to come.

After the zoo we went to the water park area at Barnett Park. The kids really enjoyed playing in the water, and it was the perfect thing to do after getting all hot and sweaty walking around the zoo. Amazing how much it cools you off even just getting your feet wet :) Lucy is waiting to catch the water when it pops up again.

This picture cracks me up. It is hard to get a picture of the kids looking at you because even if they do in the time of the camera 3 second delay they are off to something else by then. This picture looking like the kids are taking their names very seriously and acting like Herring :) Amanda and Lucy are both blocking one of the water shoots with their bellies. Clara who usually imitates everything is not this time because she is far too busy putting her butt in the water. The child would love a bodea!!

Amanda is catching the water with her skirt :)
