ZOO

We took Luke to the Zoo in Wichita for the first time today! We met my good friend Amy and her husband and baby Glen. Glen is only 6 months old, 4 months younger than Luke, but he has been bigger than Luke by a pound and a half for a couple of months now! Of course, he still looks more like a baby with that beautiful wispy baby hair and he is an instant attraction for Luke who LOVES babies. Glen had some big beautiful smiles for Luke and the rest of us too, unfortunately not captured on film.

After the babies greeted one another we set off. The Flamingos right inside the gate have always been a favorite of mine. My mom used to call me a flamingo, being long legged and I used to stand on one leg while doing the dishes. The flamingos didn't disappoint, so beautiful! (For some reason our camera things pink is orange, don't know why.)

After that we headed off to the petting zoo. It was nice out but we wanted to hit it before it started to get cold, and the babies loved it! Luke was very interested in the roosters who very obligingly crowed the whole time we were over there, sounded just like his puzzle from Mimi!

Greg liked the "Ugly Ducks" as he called them.

Glen and Luke both enjoyed this little goat.

Luke actually got up the nerve to pet him and was very pleased with himself for it! Such a nice little goat!

We also hit the reptile house and jungle...

The penguins, monkeys and the gorillas!

We didn't get pics of everything, and we didn't make it to everything, but it is such a BIG place and our guys are just so little, so I think we will come again another day! Amy and I both have single plus one passes so I'm betting we will make good use of them this year! Anyone want to go to the ZOO, just give me a call!
