I had done some research on humane zoos in the U.S. and found one called Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Kansas. I decided we had to go, so we took a trip to Kansas and tent-camped, then visited the zoo the next morning and came home. It was so nice. It was beautiful, clean, well-kept, and the animals all seemed healthy and happy.
We all got to choose one "special" animal from a few options that we wanted to feed. Carissa chose to feed a giraffe.
This poor, sweet momma monkey kept having to get away from another monkey. At one point, the other monkey took her baby! She got her baby back, but I felt so bad for her. She just wanted to protect her infant.
The kids and I all chose to feed lemurs. That was so cool!
I really enjoy seeing what Elizabeth brings home from school. She's such a sweetheart.
Livi likes to get butterflies on her. :-)
I like to read for school outside on a blanket. I'm grateful for being able to do this.
Look at this pretty spider! I think it's a green crab spider, but its legs are not splayed out in the crab-like position.
Delicious! This was my chocolate birthday cake and some divine-tasting herbal tea. I turned 36!
My sister bought me the "Dried Herbs" hanging board last year, and it gets good use. Carissa is more into drying her own herbs than I am. I love it! Purple basil is one of her favorite things to grow and dry.
How fun! I brought out the autumn fundana that Gamma Pat got William long ago, and I had the three youngest compete to collect as many items as they could.
October's post is coming right up...
