The Zoo

We do have a little zoo here in Saginaw, and since every Tuesday is half-price we decided to check it out last week.  We were expecting a small petting-zoo farm animal type place and it mostly was, but it did have some other animals too.  Not like Shane cared too much anyway, he was just as excited about the rocks,
and woodchips and walking paths as any animal.


In fact we were trying to get him to pet these turtles and we told him "Look Shane here's some turtles!"

and he pointed to this and said "Look, it's a rock!"

I tried for some photo opps with him but he wasn't too interested
And thankfully Marissa spent most of the time doing this because it was a hot day!

The womenfolk hung out in the shade a lot while the boys rode the train
and Shane's new favorite, the carousel.
When he first got on he was a little stiff and just wanting it to move,
but then he lit right up when it started and he rode it over and over and over again.
I took this picture of him running to the carousel when he first saw it and a lady was just smiling watching him and stopped me to tell me how cute he looked.  We get that a lot, you really can't help but smile when you see him prancing like that ha ha.  We just say he's practicing his high knees :) 
And my favorite picture of the day.  He LOVES his daddy!

Shane sounds like such a hoot with his prancing and "Look it's a rock!" haha that made me laugh. Marissa is as cute as can be. I love that she's off the charts- Austin just about 2 weeks ago was 15 lbs so they're about the same!! haha
