On Sunday afternoon we took advantage of a $1 entry fee at the Zoo. It was a one day special that only seems to happen once a year so we couldn't resist. We went with the Smith family, who we have met through seminary. Brian and Amy have four lovely children; Grace, Ferris, Daniel and Joshua. They are also a home schooling family and this is also their first semester. We love going to the Zoo and being reminded of the vastness of God's creation. There were several animals there that we had not seen before. We were amazed at some of the native animals like the horned owl, bald eagle and the mountain lion. They were all much larger than we had imagined. It was a really hot day, as you may tell from Matthew's pose in the photo. All of our family were there but some escaped the photos.
"It was a great afternoon. I really liked seeing the mountain lion and the tapir. It was the first time I had seen a tapir and they were kind of weird."Anna-Marie
We had a really good time at the Zoo and my favourite animal was the big, huge gorilla. I also liked the tapir, it is related to the horse and the rhinoceros."Rachel
"I liked all the cat species. The lions, tigers, mountain lions, lynxs, snow leopard, and the jaguar. I also liked being with the Smith family."Joel
"I liked the seals and the sea lions. The funniest was the orangutan and the coolest was the gorilla."Matthew
