Zoo April 15 2007
A group of us hit the zoo with the kiddles today! On the way there, we stopped in to tell my Mom we wouldn't be joining her and my baby sister, so they decided to join us instead. I had to sit in the back of the van, so took the opportunity to shoot some folks on our way up Whyte Ave.
I especially liked the dude in the motorized wheelchair with no socks or shoes on, a sure thing spring is in the air. I was so jealous - the pavement's a bit cold for me to go that barefoot yet...
When we got to the zoo, we all bunged up the entrance for 20 minutes making family groupings up as we went along. There was a heck of a traffic jam by the time we all got through ~smirk~ The kids all hit the boat when we first got there - them there was lots of kids!
I finally got to meet M-poop, daughter to Miss Niki Longsocks, and Serejane was near ready to pee her pants excited about seeing her little buddy Mika. (The two of them then proceeded to virtually ignore each other the entire time...) Christine brought along Nathan & Nicholas, and Tasha brought her friend Juanita and all their children - Hallie, Kai, Emmy, Cole, and I didn't catch the other boy's name - sorry! It's still so weird to see Emerson walking! And poor Kai did his best to keep his serious face while my son Wil pushed him maniac-style in Tasha's sexy Chariot.
There was much frollicking on the sun-drenched hills back by the llamas and horses. Hallie & Madisyn held hands like little girls will, while Nicholas, Nathan, and Kaelan ran amok, always 50 paces ahead of the crowd. Maddie ate an alien headed ice cream, which she swore looked like an owl; one of Juanita's boys had his first marshmallow - he picked it up off the picnic table and shoved the whole thing in his mouth. He kind of looked like a rabid dog... a very cute rabid dog, of course... though the prize for crazy and possessed went to the insane braying and charging zebra. Hands down.
The weather was gorgeous, the children were giddy, the Moms were lookin' HAWT, my husband looked even HAWTer, then I scaled a plexiglass wall to photograph a porcupine.
The end.
Thanks everyone for a great day!
