Saturday Snapshots - Take Four

Lots of jumping has been happening on the kids new jumpoline (that's what Rilyn calls it and therefore also Ryder calls the trampoline).  It was an early Christmas present from Grandma and Grandpa Decker and what a great one it is!



We also did some pinecone collecting for our fall decorations






 We also went to the zoo one day this week.  Sawyer was really interested in the animals this time so that was a lot of fun.

Loving her long pigtails!






Ryder kept telling me he wanted to see the lions and we were in luck because the lions were up close this trip.  So up close that Ryder decided he didn't want to see the lions and he said, "I don't like animals, they are scary."  Ha, lots of things are scary to him right now.

In addition to this pretty lady, the male lion was outside and close to the fence so we go to watch him pestering the other lioness.


There is also an orangutan that is due to have her baby at any moment.  We watched this soon to be mama for awhile and it was so cool watching her and knowing she was close to being in labor.  The zookeeper said that she will probably nurse this baby for six years!  I can't wait to go back and see this new baby.  I'm pretty sure a baby orangutan might be about the cutest thing on this planet!
