"Witichhhaataw Tansas"

We just got back from Wichita Kansas or "Witichhhaaataw Tansas" as my sweet little nephew B calls it. We had a lot of fun with Snake and Nanc and their cute little family!! They have such a beautiful home in Kansas, hopefully Nanc will share some pictures of it on her blog. We recommend them as hosts to anyone! We went to the Wichita Zoo and I have to say that it was one of the best zoo's we have ever taken J to. Not all my pictures turned out but I do have a lot of them because J got to see some new animals. It was so much fun to get to go on a date with hubby for our Anniversary! It has been a very happy...fast...six years! Thanks Snake and Nanc for watching the kids while we went out. I just love being with my hubby and can't get enough of him so it was fun to be all alone with him!

This was fun to see right as we walked in the Zoo. Snake works for one and hubby works for the other and both a really neat areas the companies had donated to the Zoo. So there was the Koch Monkey exhibit and the Cargill Learning Center.

FLAMINGOS! We loved these pretty birds! Little A and I love the pretty pink!

Mr. C was riding in comfort and enjoyed being pushed around the Zoo!

Two monkeys got out of their cage and were riding the lion statue!

I don't know if you can see the big lion on the rock behind J but the lion was huge! Really regal looking too.

B wanted to touch this bird so bad but we were all afraid he would get hurt so the adults ruined his fun in petting the pretty bird.

So we get to the hippo exhibit and Nanc told me to dribble some of my water bottle over the hippo's water and they would come up out the murky water for the kids to see. So I did just what she told me to do and up came this hippo mouth open wide. I was quite proud of myself until I notice the do not feed animals sign...Hmm... is that punishable by law???

B and J tired out, poor guys used beg to get out of the strollers a year or so ago and now they wished they could ride in the strollers with their younger brother and sisters!

This is the tunnel under the water tank so you could see fish and turtles swimming about. Sorry no sharks!

Hubby and Mr. C braving the bridge to the Gorilla exhibit. Just do not go on with Uncle Snake, he likes to make these kind of bridges bounce and it makes for a very bumpy walk across water you don't want to be dumped in!
