Gulf Breeze Zoo

So this year I'm trying to do a better job of posting things as they happen while we're on vacation as opposed to weeks and months after the fact.  Today we met Caroline, Bella, Christine, and my mom at a local zoo to check out the animals and spend some time together. 

 

Here's the beautiful Bella while we were hanging out at our first exhibit of the day, a parakeet habitat.

She's holding "budgies," which are popsicle sticks with some sticky stuff and birdseed on them to attract the parakeets.

Lorelai and Miller weren't afraid at all to get right in there and start feeding the birds.

Caroline decided this was as close as she wanted to get.

Next up...the petting zoo.

I tried to get all four of the cousins in this picture but Bella came out blurry and Miller was looking away.  Oh well, I have a week and a half left to try and get a good picture of the four of them. 

Otters...my favorite!!

These two were as thick as thieves right off the bat today.  You'd never know it has been a year since they had seen each other.

Have no idea what this animal was but took its picture because I thought it was pretty cute and interesting.

Bella and Caroline as Mama Kangaroo and baby Joey.

Lorelai and Miller's turn.

Since Dan loves zoos so much he had to get in on the fun, too.

 Fun posing as a raccoon.

Watch out for that snake!!!

Fashion Show Fun

One of Lorelai's newest passions is putting on fashion shows.  She goes all out with musical selections to accompany each outfit and she even had a seating chart for the audience.

Lorelai's friend, Hailey.  According to the program she was the stage manager.  She got photobombed by Dan.

 She was crowned the winner of the fashion show.
