California Visitors - 4

Back to our visit with Jeff and Caroline and family....
We spent a great morning at the zoo in Wichita. It was coolish when we left home in the morning but by the time we headed for home three hours later, the sweatshirts had come off and it was hot and sticky!


The tiger exhibit is excellent. I love how Brett captured this leap!


Rich and I took one look at this view and were immediately transported to a river and jungle we saw on our Thailand trip in 2004, except there was about three times as much forest in Thailand. Perhaps it was the muddy river and muggy air! Nevertheless, beautiful!


Don't remember the name of this animal, but aren't its legs something! What interesting markings. Only Creator God could accomplish something like that!


Day lilies are everywhere and we love them!


We spent a lot of time at the gorillas enclosure and were completely entertained by their antics!


Nothing like a snow cone to cool you off!


Back home for dinner and to celebrate Moira's 10th birthday. The one candle is kinda cheesy, but I forgot to add them to my grocery list. So one candle for one decade. We devored the family favorite strawberry cake. It looked a little like the Leaning Tower of Piza, but delicious just the same!


The next day we left for four days in Branson.

  1. I've never seen the tigers do much at all - sleeping or pacing. I LOVE the jump! Didn't realize there is a creek there. That one animal is called the Okapi by the way.
