First Zoo trip of the Summer!

if you are an avid reader of Schurman Shenanigans then you know that we ♥ the Edmonton Valley Zoo.  It isn't as fancy as the Calgary Zoo (which we also love), but it is just right for the M & M's.
 A little petting zoo action...I'm the world's worst Mom, I do not encourage them to touch the animals, I don't tell them they can't, I just don't encourage them - it is like the aversion I have to sand, I just think it is gross...I am a terrible mother, I know :)


 Black swan, she loved it
 Pelicans!
Checking out some frogs
 The new seal section...very cool.


 Miss. Matea spent the majority of her time climbing all over the statues
 This was kinda cute, obviously the boy in the blue shirt is a Schurman Shenanigans fan, because he followed the M & M's around snapping their picture for a good five minutes!


The "wave at Mommy" picture
 Bridge pictures....♥ them
 And the newest fun activity when at the zoo.....train chasing!
He can totally catch it too...terrible parenting :)

 Loving Lucy the Elephant...he was sooo excited to see her out on her walk.
 Matea trying to find her prince?
 Ice cream time!!!


 Oh yeah...and I was there too!
My new goal is to try and get a few pictures of me while we are out on our adventures!

We have not taken the dudes to the Edmonton Zoo yet...but if they take their wolves and elephants out on walks that is clearly the place to be!

And I totally know what you mean about trying to get in the pictures. Even when I let John take the camera I end up deleting the ones with me in them because it was from a bad angle or something :)
