We went to the zoo....

We have been trying to get to the Calgary zoo ALL summer, but it just didn't ever jive with our schedules.  Last weekend was THE weekend!  Bob and I decided that it might be fun to do a quick little trip to the zoo to help celebrate Big Mack's big b-day.....we did however make the mistake of "asking" him where he wanted to go...I just assumed he would say the zoo, because we had been hyping it up all weekend....nope he wanted to go to.....the museum?!?  So from now until the end of time, the Calgary zoo will forever be called "The Zoo-zeum"

Crisis averted....and Auntie Kyla & Uncle Jer came too!  This was especially fun for me because with that many adults, I could pretend that I was by myself (only once or twice) on a beautiful fall vacation....it was heaven :)

Enjoy all the pictures...feel free to COMMENT, we ♥ them :)

 Trying to "break in" to the lion cage!  She is crazy :)

Watching the hippo's (they are so awesome!) -- we all sat down to be polite so others could see....apparently others thought this was an invitation to stand in front of us :)

Uncle Jer & Auntie Kyla are silly

and cute :)

I have come to the conclusion that Matea is just comes on these excursions for the "healthy snacks"

 We ♥ Uncle Jer

Now i know some of you will not believe me BUT sometimes I don't think you understand what we go through her at Schurman Shenanigans to get really cute pictures of the M & M's....let me tell you, it definitely doesn't "just happen"

But every once in a while....we capture some amazing memories :)
