Saturday morning we got an early start and drove into Abilene to go to the Zoo! It is a great, small zoo. Jenae and I can easily walk it all in about an hour. Just the right size for little legs. Also, the animals are caged so that the kids can get real close and actually see them. Jenae is quite familiar with the zoo and would grab Vincent's hand and say, "Come on, Vincent!" Of course, many times Vincent wouldn't walk at all unless the were holding hands. It went both ways. They were pretty cute!
First stop, the flamingos and ducks.
Saw a peacock on the way to the monkeys!
The bears were very interested in our animal crackers.
"Come on, Vincent! Up the bridge to the giraffes!"
Don't be scared, Jenni. It's just a giraffe tongue. Besides, Vincent is watching. Be brave.
There you go! Good job!
We finished the zoo, grabbed some Sonic, ate cookies at Shasha's house and then went to look for a pumpkin patch. Couldn't really find one without driving out in the country, so we settled for this display in front of a nursing home.
Vincent decided he was done for the day. No pumpkins. No Jenae. No holding hands. No pictures. Nothing!
So, we just took a few of Jenae and got in the car and headed back to the house.
Here's just a teaser! We had so much fun last night and I look forward to telling you all about it. However, today is my anniversary...it's getting late...and I'm going to bed. So, until I have more time to tell all the fun stories and post all the pictures this one will have to do.

A couple of weeks ago my sister, Jenni, her son, Vincent, and Homie came to visit us for the weekend. We had a great time showing them all the fun things to do in Winters...and all that happened before dinner. :o) Just Kidding. (kind of) The kids had a great time out at the Friday night football game. We hooked Vincent up with some Blizzard gear.
Jenae and her daddy sharing some love!
Bedtime stories are best when shared with a friend!
This was actually taken a different night...after a full day at the zoo. The little thing
