Logan's new glasses & the zoo

Here is our big guy with his glasses. He failrd his eye screening at school and so we took him to an optometrist and found he is farsighted and will now need glasses. He was excited at first and then got nervous about them, he was afraid he would be teased, and to be honest, so was I. Yesterday was his first day wearing them at school. He said only one little girl teased him and when she did some of his classmates told the teacher before he had the chance. This made him much more comfortable and he is again happy with his glasses.
These next pictures are going to be at the Tyler zoo. I took the kids the Friday of Logan's spring break. They love going to the zoo and this one did not disappoint. All of their favorite animals were there and of course Dalton had to take a liking to one off the odd ones. He became fascinated with the anteater of all things. Those things are huge and not very pretty. The zoo also has a bird walk about (a building where the birds fly free and you get to feed them from a seed stick) and a petting zoo that they really enjoyed. They liked it so much they wouldn't stop talking about it to Dusty so we took another trip to the zoo on Saturday. The boys were in heaven, two days in a row at the zoo, what could be better! Good thing we bought a membership!
Happy kiddos taking a break and looking at the map to see what is up next.



At the bird walk about. At first the boys were apprehensive with all the birds flying around but then worked hard at getting one on their stick.




Logan in front of his favorite animal, the zebra.



Dalton the anteater, his favorite. The anteater did constand laps around his habitat and would not be still long enough for us to get a picture of him and Dalton, other than this one of Dalton chasing him around.




Rayleigh's favorite past time lately is chewing on her fingers. Guess that was more entertaining for her than the zoo at this age.


The zoo had a petting zoo area, the only animal they had though was goats. The boys really enjoyed it none the less. They were able to brush the goats as well and they thought that was the coolest thing. They spent quite a while in there with the goats.

Lastly, I am sorry about the big lapse in posts, but we have dial up right now and it literally takes me a couple of hours to do this. I will still try and do better. Hope you enjoy!
