Grandpa Takes us to the Zoo

 Grandpa Storm was here for a week when Jane was born he took such great care of Molly and Mack. My dad LOVES the zoo and we just happen to live less than a mile from the Henry Doorly Zoo one of the best in the country! It was 100 plus degrees the week they were here  but grandpa still managed to take them to the zoo three times that week for at least 5 hours at a time. They all were in heaven!

Molly loves birds so when my dad took them to the Budgie Encounter she was in love! They have Popsicle sticks with bird seeds glued to the end that you can use to "catch" one of the 100's of parakeets or cocktail's they have there in the netted area.
They went to the petting zoo. Molly has a love for animals and was not shy of the goats, she got up close and personal as Mack looked from a distance.


It was 104 the one day they went and enjoyed the mist sprays there to keep cool!

Mack thought it was so much fun being able to catch and hold the birds!

He was such a good big brother and helped Molly take a look at them while she warmed up to the idea of holding one on a stick.

She got comfortable with it pretty fast and couldn't wait to touch and poke them!

Grandpa helped her catch one, she was so excited!

Finally a bird of her own!

She was so hot and roasting she had to wear grandpas hat and find a seat in the shade inside the hippos mouth.

Grandpa spoiled them and took them on a ride on the carousel, their first time!

Mack was so excited!!

Molly was afraid and clinched to the post before the ride started, when it did she flashed a huge smile and said "weeeee!"

They went to the dig where they could look for dinosaur fossils. Mack decided it was a good place to make rubber piece angels ha!
Such a cute little geologist

They had so much fun digging and playing.

Right up Mack's ally.
