Our trip to Zoo Atlanta -- a photo essay.
First stop, Flamingo Oasis. Because they're so pretty and graceful and... uhhh.... honey, do you smell that? Okay, WHOA. That is an unpleasant combination of poop and bacteria. And what is that pungent background stench? Bird B.O.? *gag reflex* Who knew flamingos stank so bad?! Lordy!
(This was AJ's favorite exhibit. We came back twice.)
Yeah, this fragrance is better. Dirty sheep.
Too bad he wasn't blue like "GOAT!"
(Vincent Van Goat). Still, AJ was intrigued.
Here's where the mood threatened to go to Hey-yo. AJ did NOT enjoy the carousel. And it WAS circling pretty darn fast, as you can see. I thought these things were minimum-impact rides. !
Luckily, comfort comes easy in the form of Sunchips. (Let's get outta here!)
Here we go, an actual exotic animal. Don't get up, though, Mr. Kangaroo. No, no, don't trouble yourself. :)
It was actually a fantastic day. Happy family time. This past weekend, too, was as sweet as a spoonful of marshmallow creme. We planted our pansies (hooray, winter flowers!), burned the stick pile in fall-bonfire fashion, attended a party where apples were bobbed-for, and breathed the clean, fresh air. Sometimes I really think THIS IS THE LIFE.

Sounds really idyllic to me, too! Isn't this just a great time of year? And you're so PRETTY!! What a gorgeous family y'all have. Thanks for sharing; I love photo essays (hint-hint).
It's fun to put a face behind the blogger! Also, your little guy is SO cute. Re. the blogger photo issue in your previous post--go ahead and stage something! Sure, it's silly but it won't take long to take a few snaps. It will be fun to see what you choose.
Cute! Hooray for a day at the zoo.
I love your pictures and commentary! Thanks for sharing!
