The Zoo

We are enjoying a 4 day weekend. For whatever reason, our school observes a long weekend on President's Day weekend. I think the past 2 years we've had to go to school on the Friday in order to make up for an excess of snow days. Since we have yet to use even 1 snow day this year, we got to keep all 4 days of our long weekend. Ron has Monday off, and he took Friday off to spend with us. It was a beautiful, sunny day so we spent our afternoon at the zoo. Tyler got a camera for Christmas and really hasn't had much opportunity to use it. He took it to the zoo with him and entertained himself quite nicely. Danielle enjoyed using my old camera.

Tyler took a lot of video. He did manage to get a rather funny one of the penguins, but he and Danielle have decided to send it in to America's Funniest Home Videos. Compared to some videos I've seen on there, I think they have a good chance of having their video aired; I don't think it's worth any $$, though. I can't post it because the rules say you can't post something online if you submit it to them, so you'll have to settle for these clips instead.

Tyler's video

Danielle's video

Here are some of Tyler's pictures he wanted to share.

Here are some of Danielle's. It's hard to take good pictures through glass. The flash accidentally went off on the 2nd snake picture. Obviously that's not how she envisioned the picture turning out, but we all thought it was funny (in a freaky sort of way).
