popcorn park zoo (noah version)

Spring break for Alex & Chelsea ended on Wednesday, and so far this week spending it with Sierra, and Noah has been fun. 

Sierra has been taking advantage of her free time away from school, and while she is still trying to decide which college to attend to (she's narrowed it down to two) we told her to go, have fun, and spend some time with her friends. 

While she was out Jon and I ventured out & took Noah to the Popcorn park zoo. This day was all about him. 

The first time we came was two years ago when Noah was about one. I recommend this park for kids 12 and under. I mean if your a teenager that doesn't mind the country, and small spaces by all means go, but i think little kids may enjoy it more. Just don't wear sandals, or flip flops because you'll get sand all over. There is no concrete at this zoo, and luckily Noah was smart enough to wear his boots. 

It's not like the Philadelphia zoo, or any other huge zoo we are familiar with. This zoo is special because the animals that house it are rescued by the Association Humane society. We are allowed to feed them popcorn, and peanuts.

The weather has still been a bit chilly here. Chilly enough to wear a light jacket. Some of the sites were closed due to renovations, and there were some animals that were a bit sluggish. We saw a beautiful mountain lion that could barely walk. Not sure if he had arthritis, but my heart didn't have the courage to photograph, vine, or record him. 

I did however vine Noah having the most amazing time feeding the deer here, trying to touch the feathers of a peacock here, when he was feeding popcorn to the canadian geese here, and his favorite...looking at the tigers, and bears...

Oh my!

Being that he is three years old his animation, and personality towards animals or anything of nature is still the same when he was one years old. He loves being outdoors, and loves all the animals!

Walking with the chickens...

The coolest thing about this zoo is that it's in the middle of the country. The hour drive back home was nice, and that always gives Jon and I a chance to talk about 'life', and our future with our family.

I had so much fun today with Noah that I began kissing him all over. I know I've said this before, but he is just growing up too darn quick! Can time please slow down? Please!!!

Having Jon off all week made this chilly, spring break really nice. Even though we spent our spring break days in Philly, and closer to home it has been fun. Now to prepare for general conference, and then back to reality next Monday!

Happy weekend all!
