This is just an update on what we have been up to the last few days. Brendan has been fighting off the cold well, I am just getting it now. bleh
Yesterday, the boys wanted to the go the aquarium. We went through the whole thing, then did a few laps on the mall, then went through again.
The boys love the stingrays best. (my cell phone’s camera keeps getting worse!)
This morning we got up and out to the zoo as early as we could. It was still hot, but I took the boys to the Stingray Bay where they could actually pet them. Trevor loved it. Brendan would put his hands in the water, but he wouldn’t touch them.
Trevor turned around and said, “Mommy! He pet me!”
Trevor says “They are soft and rubbery, and just a little bit slimy.”
We cooled down at the zoo’s splash pad and Trevor used a crocodile like a balance beam.
Tonight, we made attempt number two at the Owl Walk. There were no dust storms tonight, and there were lots of really cute little owls!
These are Western Burrowing Owls and they like to live in holes in the ground. They also like to make nests in drainage pipes and other inconvenient areas. They are a protected species.
This whole park has many of these man-made tube burrows for them and rescued owls are relocated here.
They are really tiny and so cute!
What the scenery looks like without the brown fog
One happy owl-lover
Brendan’s smile says it all! He loved the owl park. The little owls are very cute. 🙂
Trevor and Brendan are also very cute in their hats.
I’m glad Brendan is getting better from his cold, sorry to hear you’re getting it. 🙁
Lots of love and hugs,
Gramma xoxoxo
Good morning from the Lake House!!! Relieved to see that Brendan is recovering nicely from his cold!! 🙂 Sorry to hear that you may be the next victim! 🙁 Hope it is short lived!! What fun for the boys visiting the aquarium and the owl walk!! Fierce Trevor claiming victory over that alligator and Brendan’s smile sums it up!! Stay cool and be healthy!! Prayers, hugs and love!! 🙂
Trevor, 😉 is it true that if you stand on the nose of an alligator, it can’t open its mouth ?
Brendan, looks like you had a great time, with the cold getting better and all the things to explore.
Bit of a surprise here…….I haven’t heard a single fire cracker go off…….yet, and tomorrow is Independence Day 😮 😉
Have a happy 4th of July 🙂
Another owl! Two owls! More owls! I miss the owls – where’d the owls go?
Next time you guys are in town (2018 maybe? :D) we will have to go see them!
For sure – K would love it!
