"Bear Bear Bear!"

Friday, we made it to the zoo. When Sylvia realized where we were heading, she started yelling "Bear, Bear, Bear!" at the top of her lungs. (Goldilocks and the 3 Bears happens to be her favourite story currently.) So, that was our first stop.

The polar bear was moving all over, and we enjoyed watching him for a long time before visiting the other bears.

The boys enjoyed watching the badger running laps in his pen. Asher asked if he could get one for a pet. - I don't think so.

The zoo carousel is a big hit with Sylvia. She let Aunt Becca ride a fierce caterpillar next to her.

Asher rode while modelling Sylvia's sunhat. He is so fashionable.
Sylvia saw a penguin, and had to go for a second ride to try it out. She kept saying "Nug, Nug!" As she was going around, then joined me singing "Pingu, Pingu!". (For those of you who don't watch the European Pingu cartoon, you are missing out! Do a U-Tube search for him.

And finally, here is our latest family member. While fishing last Tuesday, Ann Pusar found us a monarch caterpillar on some milkweed. We are trying to keep it supplied with leaves from the sides of the road around here. We hope to watch it change into a butterfly soon. It even eats more than Asher! It has doubled it's size in 2 days already.
