Friday Fun

Off to the Zoo on a nice Friday morning

To the aquarium...

Montgomery already climbing

Watching the penguins

Look where I fit in, I'm bigger than a king penguin

Fish...

Oooohhhh, those are cool.

More fish

Little fish too

Gorilla Valley

Hanging out with the monkey's 

Little birds for Gabriella to see

Monkeys on the monkeys

On our way to the Orangutan Forest

That's enough behind shots...I ran ahead to get a "better view"

They're pretty lazy today

No entertainment here...they're all pretty quiet

You can't see this one because of the reflection but it looked like he was taking a nap...Todd must be trying to wake him up???

As we were heading out of the parking lot we saw this bus...Harrisburg Tigers ;)

That Pottery Place

Montgomery and I had a little date and went to one of her favorite places...painting pottery!

She picked a flower bank to put all her change in

Making all the finishing touches!

All done...ready to have it fired!

We'll show you the finished piece when we pick it up.

Eggs

How much weight can egg shells support?

First we carefully work on emptying the shells.

Next step start stacking books on the 4 egg shells that are evenly spread at the 4 corners of the first book.

How many books will these empty egg shells support?

1,2,3

4,5

6

7,8,9

10

11,12,13,14,15

Montgomery went to get more!

5 more small books....

It's cracking... (You can watch the videos on tumblr)

Zoo Trip

A great day for indoor zoo exhibits.

Playing in the Jungle!

Gabriella started to go...but then it was a little too scary for her. Not for these two, no big deal...been through this place a hundred times ;)

It's fun to see some of the animals and jungle we've been studying.

Monkey!!!

Keever said, "we'll just say, hey took a quick trip to South America to see the things we're studying" Ha! Wouldn't that be cool!

Okay, let's head to the desert!

Okay one last time hanging from the trees.

Todd was explaining that we can't touch the birds...they probably wouldn't like it and we don't know what it would do.

Here is the bird...and Montgomery checking it out from a distance.

It's all very entertaining to Mckeever, seeing his sisters enjoy and ask questions!

It's always so good to hang out with Dad...and great for me too, he keeps the troops in order :)

"Watch me slide"

"Ok, me next"

"I wanna do it too"

"Wait for me!"

Keever is so kind and helpful!

On our way out to the car, heading home...

The girls...loving some Dad Time!

It was a nice morning, and good to take a break for a couple hours today.
