Carousel fun!

Thank you to Sarah and her MOPS group for inviting us to join them at the Perkasie Carousel for a few rides!

Getting ready to start.

Getting ready to go around, again.

Looks like they are having a good time! I think Dave rode a total of about 5 times!!

The first tomato of the season!

Mee-mee and Pops called the other day that they were saving the first tomato for Dave to pick. So over we went and Dave picked the first tomato or two for the summer. They saved this for for him because he has been asking them for a long time when he would be able to pick tomatoes again. He loves to pick the cherry tomatoes and eat them right off the vine!

The zoo with my best buddy!

What a better way to spend a beautiful day but at the zoo with your good friends! Above the boys are checking out the turtles and the eagles.

Then off to see the prong horn sheep and their babies.

And the newest members of the zoo, some new monkeys.

Dave showing Noah the ferrets.

Caleb and Noah looking at the foxes.

Dave made sure that the boys met his favorite turtle.

Caleb was the brave one in the group to feed the sheep!

Looks like three very happy boys to me!!! Caleb, Noah, and Sarah thank you for spending the day with us at the zoo we had a great time. And can't wait to see you again.

A night on the farm.

Last night we went to visit Marge with Nan. And while we were there we went across the street to visit Walley's farm. We had gone to see the pigs, but they were a little bit too big for Dave's liking, I think he thought that they were going to be baby piglets. But he was very satisfied seeing the kittens that were only three days old!

And some of the baby cows!

Thank you Marge and Walley for letting us visit your farm.

Philadelphia Zoo

We thought that it would be nice to take a day trip to Philly. So we started off having lunch at Geno's!

The cheese steaks were great!

Chris enjoying his steak.

And well of course when you are in Philly with Dave it's all about going to the big zoo! It was such a perfect time to go after lunch, the crowds were gone, the day was beautiful and the animals were out!

Dave checking out the birds that are living with some turtles, to make sure that they are being nice to the turtles.

The cheetah's were relaxing in the nice summer sun.

Here the boys are waiting in the line for a rain ride.

I think Chris is wondering if he's going to fit in the train.

And they are off.

A big thumbs up as they are going by.

The ride is over, can they get out....?

Still trying...

and trying again...

Ohh, and they are free...I didn't have to leave them at the zoo train.

The new McNeil Avian Center is now open so we got to enjoy that today. Dave loved seeing the 4-D movie about Otis the Philadelphia Oriole.

Dave in a huge bird nest made of mud.

Checking out the birds.

"Look at this one's funny feathers on his head."

"Cheese"

This fellow got quite the attention of the zoo goers today. He was trying his hardest to reach the leaves that were just out of his cage. The crowd was cheering him on, but his tongue wasn't quite long enough.

Watching the giant otter's play in the water.

Of course the giant turtles and always the biggest hit!!!!!!

Taking a little break.

Looks like this tiger's got the right idea, to relax in the jacuzzi!

But it seems that this one has the weight of the world on his shoulders. He better talk to that tiger!
