Zoo

We went to the zoo on saturday with the Manitoba Families of Multiples.  It was one of those come when you can, stay as long as you want kinda things.  So we saw a few people we know, but I was there with the kids by myself.

I must say the Winnipeg Zoo has put alot of work into their displays.  Some still had empty cages.  But they had picture opportunities with different animals.   We saw the tigers, bald eagles and a few other animals at feeding time.  The kids thought it was great.

I remember years ago being pregnant with P & C and going to the zoo.  They had the bird aerial display.  Well they had it again on saturday.  Payton thought it was the greatest thing and keeps talking about it.  One of the birds flew within reaching distance of her.

But boy oh boy was it hot.  There was no relief at all.  No wind, no coolness anywhere.  We managed and I think I got some good pictures.

That's it for now... off to enjoy my few days with Dustin till he leaves again.

Monday

We went to the beach in St. Malo on monday.  The kids love this beach.  I went to dollarama and bought them some mask to use.  The water is filled with minnows.  This time the girls were doing handstands and flips in the water.  Clayton on the other hand just wanted to play in the sand.  Nathan did alittle bit of everything, but he wanted to float on the water floaty and have me chase him lol.

 My poor Clayton, can this kid get any skinnier??  He hates it.

I had a fun day and actually got to just sit and watch them for a bit.

Photo Contest

So Posterjack is having a photo contest.  http://www.facebook.com/#!/posterjack
on their facebook account.  So I thought I would play along.  It's actually making people think outside the box and get really creative.  Tomorrow's challenge a joke... how to photograph a joke???  Well I have some idea's we'll see if they work out or not.  Here are some of the ones I've submitted so far.

This one is for Canada Day

 This one is for clouds

 This one is for feet.  I actually really enjoyed doing this one.  It pays "sometimes" to have lots of children lol

That's it I'll have more soon, as it's summer and we are going to enjoy this summer to the fullest!

Bet you can't guess what we did this morning?
