Sensel Family Visit

Joshua's sister and brother-in-law came to town for a visit this past week. We had many adventures and all of them ended with everyone being exhausted, including the kids. From our after dinner walk to the town square to the trip to the zoo, it was a fun filled time and one we would gladly repeat.

It was raining the first part of the morning at the Zoo which ended up being a good thing because all the Zoo keepers came out and did animal presentations with the kids indoors. Our first talk was about how hippos and allagators kill more people than any other 2 animals in the world. The hippos flip the canoes and the alligators eat the people, it's a group effort. 

I love the way the Zoo keeper is opening the jaw of the alligator like its biting Noah in the head and he is doing a scary face. And believe it or not it wasn't planned, just perfect timing!

Our next presentation was a cute little Temrec from Madagascar. 

 And lastly we had a baby python demonstration, and it was one I could have done without.
Not a big fan of slimy, slithering, reptiles. 

I love this picture because Lizzie is glued to the fish tank and the boys are all going in a different direction.

We love you Sensel family and miss you already. Come again!
