The Brown Bunch

We recently took the kids to the Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain. If you've never been, I highly recommend it. The kids were able to see, feed, and pet many unusual animals. Claire was much more adventurous than I expected and loved feeding the animals. Jake was a little more nervous. Jason loved it too, but I think he enjoyed being the driver of the 1980 van more. I apologize for all of the pictures, but it was hard to choose! Enjoy! The animals were sometimes too friendly. They loved the zebras! Jake being a little scared! What a tongue! Look at her expression! Claire sat in Daddy's lap to feed the longhorns. Jake sat in Daddy's lap to feed the camels. Check out that tongue! Jake just didn't know what to think.

On a recent trip to visit the some of the grandmothers, we took the kids to Babyland General. While they aren't mature enough to adopt their own babies yet, they enjoyed all of the babies at the nursery. I expect that we will be going back to adopt when they get a little older. They had a blast! Claire really liked the ones with big hair. I think the school bus was Jake's favorite part. He wanted to get on and ride!

2011 is already starting off to be a great year! We have 6-7 inches of snow at our house and we've been snuggled up staying toasty and warm inside. The kids have enjoyed the excitement and begged to go out and play. I thought I'd share a few of the better pictures of our Snow Bunnies! The snow started on Sunday night and we had several inches quickly. Jake was dying to get outside to play. We let him go on the back porch for a few minutes. Monday morning A quick hug, requested by mom of course! Jake tried the ice. He kept calling it his "pizza." The snow was more like ice and Jake skated around a lot. He loved it! Daddy and Jake Sissy loved it too.
