Grandma Tina's Zoo

Okay, it's not really "Grandma Tina's" Zoo. It is the Tautphaus Park Zoo, but try explaining that to a 5 and 4 year old.

Waiting for the cousins to arrive.

Cousins really are the best friend a girl could have.

The ball python was out this morning. Pooh Bear was brave and gave her a couple of pats... 

Drama, also brave, touching the python...

 The Boss bravely taking a turn with one crooked finger...

 And .4 seconds later crying....

The petting zoo, where the girls brushed the goats...

It was a perfect zoo day, overcast, not too hot and most of the animals were out showing off for the kids.

And we had to take a picture with all of the cousins riding the tiger. When the Wisconsin cousins come in a couple of weeks the cousins won't all fit on the tiger's back!
