Russell turned 7 on the 21st! We went to the Jacksonville zoo, and spent about 5 hours walking around looking at all the animals...Then Daddy took us to Sam's for hot pizza, and icecream! It was so refreshing. Russell LOVED the whole day=) Especially getting to feed a giraffe, and a Lorikeet!
 |
| A passerby took our picture for us! |
 |
| "Don't fall, Russell!" |
 |
| The boys kept saying "look, there's a squirrel!" {like we don't have any here!=)} |
 |
| We got such great views of the animals up close! |
 |
| This one looked like a zebra/hyena! |
 |
| Russell...=) |
 |
| Love their expressions! |
 |
| Birthday Boy! |
 |
| Russell got to feed this giraffe! |
 |
| "Give me my camera back!" |
 |
| Riding the carousel! |
 |
| "Oh no! William's getting eaten from both sides!" |
 |
| Frank was awwed by it... and wasn't too sure about riding on an animal, so Daddy sat down on the bench with him=) |
 |
| I got to escort Honey=) |
 |
| This friendly little guy was more than happy to perch close to Russell, and drink the nectar offered! |
 |
| Passion flower... |
 |
| Playing in the tree house! |
 |
| They had some beautiful gardens, that were in surprisingly good condition after the hurricane! |
 |
| These lily pads were tremendous. They had to have been like two feet in diameter! |
 |
| That wire looks rather skimpy to me...=/ |
 |
| Truly incredible to see such diversity in God's wonderful creation! |
 |
| Sleepy tiger! |
 |
We love this seven-year-old so much... He is bright and cheerful, and loves to tell all about his life happenings to any patient listener! =) He is doing great in school, and loves learning about flight with Bo! His eager helping-hand in the kitchen, and helping keep Frankie busy with good things is such a blessing!
