It's HOT let's go for a swim. These 2 cubs couldn't get enough of the water.
Where's my lunch???
Can we feed him mama? Yes we can. It was so much feeding the giraffe's and they have long, long, long tongues.
Joseph feeding him. This is for you Aunt Heidi, wish you could have been there with us.
All Aboard!!!

Joseph loved the Giraffe's as long as they didn't try to kiss him.
Good Morning Mr. Giraffe
Joseph and I petting a baby Wallaby. It was the softest thing I think I have ever felt.
Who let Shere Khan lose???
Don't let the bear get me Mama!

A couple of weeks ago we took Joseph to the Colorado Springs zoo and we all had a blast. Their Giraffe exhibit was amazing, it had 18 giraffe's and you could look them right in the eye. The lion exhibit they walk right over your head, it's cool. Joseph's favorite part was the giraffe's, he did not want to stop feeding them crackers. I think he made a friend for a life with all the crackers we gave that one.

My Boys and Me

After a long day of playing in the dirt it was time to snuggle with mama by the fire. It was nice to sit with my "baby" and have him keep me warm, I was FREEZING!

The Sweetest Thing

This picture just makes my heart melt. We were walking to see the cows and Pita and Joseph held hands the whole time.

We spent last week in Idaho with Ben's family and we had a great time. We went to a fair, did some champaning for Ben's dad who is running for Sheriff, did a little camping, and some target practice. It was wonderful getting to see everybody.
