Getting Too Old....

Some days I feel like I'm getting too old for this .....
And then we decide to take the grandsons to the zoo.  Huh?  Because we don't have enough mammalian or aquatic life for them to observe at our homestead?
There is my dearly beloved husband and our firstborn grandson going in to the zoo.  I am following them pushing a stroller with a yearling grandson that is eager to run around in his new shoes and taste anything the the zoo droppings have to offer.

What was I thinking?
I know most people won't believe this.....but that morning we captured and relocated the biggest Texas Rat snake I've ever seen.  I wish I'd have gotten pictures.  
Speaking of pictures.....check this one out.  No, we were not feeding Darren to the Cheetah (look closely at the reflection in the upper left corner).....
All Rylan wanted to see was the Elephants.  He ran ahead when he saw them in the distance...
He was so disappointed to see that they ate hay.  Just like the goats. Nothing new here.  He had envisioned stacks and stacks of peanuts, and being able to feed each one to the elephants himself.
It was a fabulous day.
