Zoo Day with Little Boys

I was lucky enough to get to spend a morning at one of my favorite places 

with this sweet family!

My typical zoo settings include a fast shutter speed for animals on the move.

Perfect for keeping up with these energetic little boys!

I loved how laid back these parents were--lots of laughter and very little fuss.

That's a perfect recipe for fun!

This little guy was enthralled by the bears.

This one was enthralled by anything he could get his hands on.  Of course!

This was a really busy Saturday morning at the zoo, 

but somehow we managed to stay about twenty steps ahead of the crowd.

No waiting for us on the carousel, but by the time we got done the line was long!

The goat barn is always a hit with the brave kids.

This one is brave!

Dad is a chef.  When we were coming out of the cow barn he said,
"I know the signs SAY jersey and guernsey (etc.),
but all I see is sirloin, chuck, tenderloin, ribs…"

Dad is also a softy.

We were hoping to get a few pictures of just the two boys together.

We all know how that goes with busy boys, right?

That'll work.

These are really more like it.

We stopped to see the real live piglets and Mom said,
"Oh look, how adorable!"
You can guess what Dad said, right?
"Yeah, if by adorable you mean delicious!"

Their playful banter was priceless.

D family, I had a wonderful morning with you.
Your boys are precious, and you two are a great team,
obviously loving this life of yours together!
I know you will look back one day and treasure these memories
of a time when life really felt like a zoo--in a good way!
