Zoo Day & Mitten Muff

So our post's early, as we will be traveling this weekend and won't have time to deal with this, but here's our trip to the zoo (we've been talking about animals)... Happy Thursday to y'all!

There were horsies to look at, though far away...

And here we are watching the orang utans, out for their daily swing...

Here's when we first arrived, BB saw a great, sleepy black bear and said

"WOW..."

We watched the seals darting around at 25miles per hour,

as the trainers were feeding them...

did you know they can dive hundreds of feet deep! I was most impressed with this

interesting fact! BB just liked to watch them splash!

The flamingoes were worth a stop, BB found them fascinating!

Even LB stared at those for a while...

So we had a grand time at the National Zoo, and it was nice that NZ had the day off of work, so we could pal around and mommy could even be in some of the pictures!

And here, ha ha, is my mitten muff... I was hoping to make mittens for my Aunt with the yarn I used to make mine, but, as you can see, there just wasn't enough! Such a bummer! So now I have a homeless 3rd mitten...

poor little thing...
