"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."- U.S. Army General George S. Patton & 1912 Olympian

Sunday June 21st: Our Fathers Day fun at the zoo

I asked the kids, "If dad was home what would you want to do for him for Fathers Day?" & they replied "GO TO THE ZOO!!" Seeing as this was our 5th time this summer I didn't take many pictures except for those priceless moments.

Ok, so before we even left the house to head to the zoo, Maximus found this snake on our sidewalk about 5 feet from the front door! We caught it & then released it across the HWY at Cheyenne Mt State Park.

Our fist stop: The bird cage.
Maximus had no trobule attracking the birds to him. He fed multiple birds when other guests couldn't get one bird to feed from them. Maximus my little bug whisper is now, "Boy verses Wild" or better yet "Bird Boy"

This was Maximus's favorite moment at the zoo today!!

It's so much more fun to see a bear at the zoo then in your trash can!! Look at his tongue hanging out... I think he's hungry.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a real porcupine before, but this guy was huge with big RED teeth. He was hanging out high up in the tree & it was our first time ever to find the little stinker.

Maci's favorite zoo animal is the Hippo & was a MUST see at the zoo. She would never have let us leave otherwise. I don't understand her fascination, they are so so boring!!

Eww yuck! I hate snakes! Fun photos! We got to feed some birds at the Aviary in Pittsburgh a couple of months ago. Mia and Pat freaked though and left the room LOL :)
