Random animal days!


We've been busy with lots of different animals lately. My kids, especially Jack, are obsessed with ANY kinds of animals. Since Fun on the Farm was getting a little expensive I thought it would be a good idea to just get Zoo passes for the family. We pretty much go once a week and the kids have a blast every time we go. Our good friends, Whitney and Sydney, have passes too so we have a great time letting the kids roam around, get dirty, and play in the playground.
Here are some recent pictures of the kids at the zoo....

My kids and Sydney. They got filthy dirty this day.

My kids also love to go out in the front yard when it gets dark at night and search for snails.... I know, totally gross, but they love it! Here is one night they were making a place for them to sleep...

We recently went to this really cool pet store called Prehistoric Pets. They have all these really cool animals that you can feed and pet and hold, it's pretty awesome. A little smelly but do you expect with all those nasty animals. Matt was really disappointed that I wouldn't give in to him and bring home a snake....YEAH RIGHT!!! I'm not that crazy. I know that when we eventually get a pet, it will be all my responsibility and I'm not about to take care of a snake. No WAY.
This is as close as Emily's getting to a snake.

All these animals are way bigger in person. Pictures do no justice for these creatures.
This is me trying not to freak out!

We went camping at Doheny Beach about a month ago. While we were out that way we stopped by a petting zoo in San Juan Capistrano. It was fun and of course the kids loved holding all the animals.
I love this picture. Matt and Emily are just smiling away, and Jack is freaking out because the goat has his shirt.
