August 2016

August:
  • Lots of visiting the land
  • Butterfly conservatory with Aunt Lo and Tommy
  • Mom and Dad got to go to a wedding
  • Zoo trip
  • Photo shoots for Gramma's birthday puzzle
In Anne's secret underground cave

Anne consults her map to the cave

How Green Was My Valley (Abridged edition)

Kids and Tommy conserving butterflies

Anne with an ominously sized and coloured bug

Can't quite reach the waterfall yet

Charlie considers centipedes (is it alliteration if there are 3 difference 'C' sounds?)

Oh, so that's the giant bug that crawled on Anne.

Wazzup?

Uncanny resemblance and colour coordination

Katy and Ryan's wedding on Toronto Island

You turn your back for one minute...

Little rebels, pleased as punch

Elmvale Jungle Zoo. Anne skips and hops when she's really having fun.

Kids will be kids

Wandering among the voracious and indiscriminate nibblers

Exotic zoo animal can't hold a candle to the ones they get to pet

Petting goats was a big hit 

Touching a (leopard?) turtle's shell

Pet snake

The tiger cub was a bit nervous

Impala? Maybe?  Stretching awkwardly to reach a snack

Feeding bananas to a very tall giraffe

Momentary fear of a lost hand vanished immediately

The giraffe's tongue was about as long as Anne's arm

In lieu of camel rides

Photo shoot for Grandma's puzzle

Coordinating all six grandchildren was nigh on impossible 

Sad babies, but great lighting bounced off of G and G's adjacent van

A rare shot with all six grandkids and not one upset

Roar!

Tommy and Ada wanted to be somewhere (anywhere) else.
