Sprinkler

Well, we got the global warming and the girls got a chance to play in the sprinkler. In April.

New Snake

At least, I assume it is a new snake. Otherwise that other one grew REALLY fast. Also, there is a snake in the picture. First one is hard to see the snake, but I promise it is there.

The Vet

The veterinarians at work, using an experimental bandage. In a related tale, last night two of these same patients had broken feet and had to go to heaven, which is in the sky. Annie was the pilot of the plane to heaven, which is also sometimes called Miss Eva.

Pony Party

Twinkle had a birthday today.

Fire Breathing Dinosaur

Annie showed this dinosaur how to breathe fire.

End of Zoo Pics

There is a polar bear sculpture over there to the left of Zoe.

Other Animals

The giraffe peeked over the wall but we missed the picture.

Cats

Couple of cats were at the zoo, including one hungry one.

Polar Bears

This polar bear was pretty playful. These were all shot through a big window, and you can see the reflection of Zoe's pink umbrella in some.

Elephants

The baby elephant is named Samson, he is pretty young.

Flowers at the Zoo

Penguins

The penguin's pool was being cleaned when we went by, so they were hard to see. But, they are in there.

Tortoises

One tortoise eating an apple, and two taking shelter.

More of Zoe at the Zoo

A few more of Zoe from the zoo.

Zoe at the Zoo

Tim and Zoe went to the Baltimore Zoo for Zoe's class field trip.

Annie Playing Basketball

We got a new basketball net, and Annie got a basket.

Snake in the House

First the snake was in the basement, then it was moved outside. If anyone knows what kind of snake this is, feel free to let us know.

Short hikers

The hike was short, the people are regular size.

Scenes from a short hike

A couple of things we saw on a short hike near the house.

Two Thousand Dollars

Maybe you heard that Soldiers make more money while they are deployed. Well, they do. Tim will get $2,000 for Family Separation Allowance soon. We had been wondering what to do with it. Luckily, the oil man came by and said we need a new oil tank before the old one starts leaking, which will happen soon. Guess what it costs? $2,000. So the decision is made.
