The weather really wasn't that cold and the kids loved it! As you can see, Milly had the best view from the front pack. Jocee and I took turns carrying her so we got to count it as an exercise day.
Now almost every time I call Jocee Brejden wants to know if I am at the zoo. I have decided he thinks I go there everyday because if he lived here he would want to, so obviously I must be there.
We missed having Mom with us this trip, it felt odd not to have her there riding in the electric wheelchair that she rode with us the last few times we have been at the zoo. She loved the animals and would happily point out animals to Brejden. We also missed the mountain lion (or cougars) trying to attack her through the fence. For some reason every time she would come near their pen one of the cougars would try to attack her. It was the craziest thing to see and it did it more than one trip. We don't know if it was the chair or some smell she was giving off because of all the chemo and pills she was on. I tried to attach it to the blog but Colby told me it was too big and some people would have a hard time being able to view our blog so I have not attached it but instead have included of photo of Mom in early 2007.

I know that if we lived by the zoo we would always be there too! Good times! I love the pic of your mom with Brejden. About a month ago one of our neighbors seen a mountain lion in the vacant lot next to our house. Scary, Huh? They only occasionally come down when hunting's not so good in the mountains. I can't wait to have get-togethers with everyone in the summer.
What fun times you have with your family. Those kids are adorable.
Since you're such an expert at the zoo, next time we're up there you'll have to be our tour guide. I'm sure S would love it too.
