Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh My!!!

I am going a little out of order, I still haven't completed my week in review from last week, but I had to post our pics from the zoo today!! The boys and I had some serious cabin fever since we have been inside since Friday due to a little virus!! Finally today, everyone felt well enough to get out! It was so nice out, I thought it would be a perfect day at the zoo! Here are some pics!
We were waiting in the train for 10 minutes, the boys were being so good and patient!! They were just excited to ride the train. So then the train conductor comes by and asked for our tickets, I told him I though it was the train that gave free rides! Nope, we had to get off and wait for an hour for the train to come back!!!! The boys were good and so understanding!!
On our way to the elephants, Jantzen's favorite!! The elephant kept putting hay on it's head, then he would push the barrel of hay over to the other elephant! Jantzy thought it was so funny. He kept saying, "Ele walking!"
Jaxson was being such a good big brother. He kept wanting to hold Jantzen's hand to make sure we wouldn't loose him! They are starting to become good friends! It is a neat thing to sit back and watch your boys take care of each other and love each other! Now we were off to see the BEARS!!!!!
This huge brown bear was sleeping in the water! The boys kept saying, "WAKE UP BEAR!" We looked at him for a while, then when it was time to go the boys said, "Bye bye bear, bye bye!"
This was Jaxson grabbing Jantzen saying, "Jantzy you have to wait for mommy!" I am so glad I have Jaxson to help me, or else I would loose a child!
The boys are looking at what they believe is a baby tiger. Mommy made them believe it was a baby tiger, because that is all they wanted to see was a tiger, and after 2 hours at the zoo and no Tiger to be found, I had to make up a little story that this is what baby tigers look like!!! The boys are looking at a huge sleeping cougar! It was laying right next to the glass! His tail kept moving up and down, and the boys thought it was so funny. Little Jantzy kept looking back at me while we were walking, to make sure I was still there! The boys had a great time today. Towards the last ten minutes of us being at the zoo, both boys were so tired, mommy had to carry them both out to the car! It was quite a sight! All the people we passed by at the zoo just laughed and smiled!
Below is a video of the boys and a black bear! Towards the end of the video is when Jantzen took off and Jaxson grabbed him to help out mom!

I loved the video!!! How sweet to hear both of the boys saying "Bye Bye Bear"! Jantzy was so excited he could not stand still - he was like the bear - only he was prowling around on this side of the glass!!

Thank you thank you thank you for sharing these wonderful life moments!

Love Mom
