We went to the Zoo!! Best darn Zoo Wesleigh's ever seen....

It was a zoo...but not much of one, but he thought it was great because he has nothing to compare it with!!

This picture is blurry, but too cute to not share!!

Well, we have had a couple of busy days!! Last night we went to Carlsbad Caverns to watch the bats fly out of the cave. Some people would think that wasn't very interesting, but we thought it was awesome. I mean, don't get me wrong, I would be the first among us to crap in my pants if a bat got anywhere near me, but watching millions and millions of bats fly out of a cave at sunset is incredible. They just kept coming and coming. They flew out of that cave by the thousands for a good 30 minutes. With all the talk of bats, Wesleigh started saying BAT BAT!! It is so cute. It is his new favorite word!!

Then, today we took him to the Carlsbad Zoo. It is a very small zoo, they have a lot more plantlife than animals. They had a bear named Maggie, bobcats, bison, elk, owls and birds of all kinds, snakes, wolves, and a few others that have slipped my mind for the moment, but believe me, the list isn't very long!! :-)

Look at that Rattlesnake!!
Don't worry, we did take the opportunity to have a teaching moment...never get this close to a rattlesnake EVER again!!
Looking at Maggie the Bear...who could eat Maggie the dog with one bite!!

We had some fun taking animal pictures with our camera, and some of our precious little boy!! He still loves the bat bats!! We actually found him a little stuffed bat in the gift shop!! He loves it!

Later today we are going to go to the Pumpkin Patch and take some pictures, so be on the look out for those!!
