Fun at the Zoo and Pumpkins, too!

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.
