A couple weeks back I promised more pictures from “My Wild Backyard” at the Zoo.
Again, my apologies to non-family, as this is another “Mom Post,” complete with Burst Photography’s 3-shots-per-second! (But to family members, especially aunts and grandmothers: you are in for a real treat! If a picture is worth a thousand words, well . . . there are not enough words–so here are the pictures!)
The kids loved the Wild Backyard. The smiles on their faces make that abundantly clear!
Mara found pine cones.
Micah enjoys the freedom of walking and exploring . . .
Micah bracing himself for Mara’s tickles.
Then they discovered leaves. Wow! . . . who knew leaves could be so captivating?!
The next three shots are the “burst” kind. But it was hard to fully capture his expression in just one picture!
In the middle of our adventure, Micah had a nasty fall and bonked his head on the metal thingy that held the mulch back from the path. I guess it’s kind of hard to see in this picture because of the way the light is shining, but there’s a red spot on his forehead (to the left of the picture) and another on his cheek (on the right). He had quite an ugly bruise on his forehead for almost a week and a half after! Poor little guy!! He is constantly falling and bruising himself . . .
But as you can see, he bounced back quickly! Once again, exploring the “forest.”
I think he was “hiding” from Mara. But whenever she came around, he would laugh and laugh.
Finally, here are two of my favorites of Mara:
Wish you could have been there!
For more “Wordless Wednesday” fun, hop on over to 5 Minutes for Mom.
