The Sedgewick County Zoo

One day in February, Elena skipped school (the rest of the kids had it off), and we went to the zoo. It  was a free day which was nice. It was a little chilly but the animals were all pretty active so that was nice.  
The play area at this zoo was awesome!!!!  It was by the farm area, and it was just a garden with big chunks of wood and play kitchen stuff.  There were other things as well, and my little kids loved.



See!  So fun!
At the petting zoo part. 
Freaky.  Apes terrify me.  Thanks Megan for traumatizing me for life.





The wolves were right under us, and this one kept jumping up right where Jubal was standing.  It startled/scared him at first.  I mean it was RIGHT under him and jumped high.  But then I told Jubal he must be his spirit animal, or something like that, and he was all happy it after that.  





















These cows are awesome.  I don't know why they don't start ranching them more in the western US since they are so suited to a dry climate. 

A quetzal!!!


Freaky bird.

No one can convince me that snakes aren't evil.







Anyway, we had really fun day. Everyone was happy and it was a great break from the endless misery and mourning of moving to Kansas.

Random February Things


Drawings by Nicolas,
I read to my kids the book The Dog Who Wouldn't Be by Farley Mowat. It was hilarious.  
I got my hair cut.

I also bought myself a new sewing machine.  A treadle one!!

My life with Elena summed up.  She was still miserable about the move to Wichita.
We were Bruno fans.
Weird cats.


Nicolas ALWAYS wore a hat and bowtie to church. So dapper!
Sebas had to was the potatoes for dinner and made this in the process.


SMAUG!!
