Calgary Zoo

They love to pose, it's kind of crazy!

 We wanted to go see the penguins at the Calgary Zoo as we heard they were so much fun.  We arrived apparently at the perfect time as the wait was only about 10 minutes, just long enough to go to the bathroom and go right in to see them.  There are a couple short videos and then pictures.  The boys wanted to take lots of pictures!

Listening to a talk about the apes.

The missing brother!

The penguins were "awesome"!  This is Jay's new favorite word.  The rest of the animals were pretty neat as well.  The boys don't remember our last trip to the zoo.  We have to get the pictures out and show them that they have indeed been there before.  Carson was having a great time taking pictures with Grandma's camera.  So much so that she needed to change batteries and she ran out of space on her memory card.  Those pictures will be posted on another entry.

Road Trip

Road trips are difficult at times because we often have to stop numerous times.  This was yet another "pee break" on our trip to Calgary.  I thought the color was beautiful though and that it was an entertaining photo.

Strathcona Island Park

 We have been making a habit of taking Lady to the river to swim.  After she has had her swim we have been waling over to the spray park at Strathcona Island.  On this particular night the water wasn't on so we stopped to play at the regular park.  The boys wanted to show off their skills on the monkey bars.  Jay is getting really good.  Carson has been able to go across them since last year but never tires of them.

While sitting watching the boys play at the park, Nathan noticed these bikini bottoms on the ground under the bench.  He asked if they were mine and I replied that no they were not.  He then commented that they weren't his either!
