Jacksonville Zoo

 We went to the Jacksonville Zoo yesterday. It was a good excuse to then be in the vicinity of a Costco! =D We had a great time. My good friend Rachel went with us!
 
 They had several Aviaries which were a lot of fun and nice.

 I don't remember what this was but it was impressive. 

 Rachel teaching the boys all about animals.

 Elephants.

This was really fun.

 2 very large snakes. Jaxter really wanted to see their faces. As we were giving up one of the snakes yawned a very large, very long yawn. Jax was satisfied.

 Baby Leopards.

 Giraffes, we had planned on feeding them but they were not hungry when we got there. =( 



 Boys looking at the Jaguar. He was so very pretty but so very sad - spent the whole time pacing.


 Pretty Rachel with a pretty bird.

 The elusive "red bird". 

Desmond LOVED this. Jax...not so much. Rachel took pictures of us, I will post them when I get her memory card.

 While we were in Jacksonville, Marc was preparing a surprise for the boys. While the surprise was supposed to be the bunk beds complete, the late hour that we were getting back made it a good idea to wait until today to assemble the actual bunk bed. I couldn't even wake Jax up to see these so it was only right to wait till today.

 THE BUNK BEDS ARE FINISHED!!!! =D



One last video. This was when I unveiled the long awaited Super Hero Capes. We still have to decorate the backs and I need a better solution for the fastening of said capes but, they are already quite popular. =)
