Memorable quotes from Miles:
“I want to see the flamingos, the camels, and the camelopes.”
“Now I blow them dry.” (after brushing the goats at the petting zoo)
Memorable moments:
Miles watching the river otters (his favorite animal is the sea otter).
Miles walking on “lily pads.”
Miles “driving” the little fire truck and play acting putting out fires with a group of children.
Matt and Miles on the merry-go-round.
Miles having fun with his mom all day, while Henry was attended to by the rest of us.
Ratio of good photos to photos taken- terrible!
But. . . a great family outing!

Well, you got the photo that counts! This is such a perfect mother-son moment, it really doesn’t matter that the others were less than perfect. Very nice.
i like this photo a lot. How did you get that background?
Thanks for telling me about the background… I wondered if that was the case. I laughed out loud about your comment about my photo. You said it reminded you of the Sound of Music. ACtually, in my efforts to get them to loosen up i was singing “The hills are alive…etc” One of my granddaughters started singing along..you can tell which one…her mouth is wide open as she is singing. Actually, to be truthful, those hills were alive alright, with mosquitoes! we ate them..and had them flying up our noses and into our ears. It was AWFUL, but the photos were worth it all. Thanks for your sweet comments.
Oh…the Miles moments at the zoo are precious and the picture of that sweet boy and his mom captured the essence of the day at the zoo!
