more from our trip...2

GreenView Aviaries


A couple of summers ago, my parents found this amazing little zoo about 45 min from thier house! GreenView Aviaries has a zoo, a minature village, a huge and amazing playground (a couple of them), a splash pad (which we didn't end up using), an icecream shop, and a burger restaurant.  It was a really great time...we should have went earlier to be able to enjoy it more, but that just means we will all have to go again (with everyone next time)!!!  Enjoy some picutres from our fun time at the "Zooz" - as Joshua calls it ;)





The mother duck was sitting on all these babies...it surprised us when she got up and we saw ALL these babies!


Matthew was so excited about this gorilla...he started making monkey sounds and swaying back and forth when he saw it :)


Joshua feeding a baboon through the pipe...it was sitting at the other end of the pipe with his hand on the pipe to catch the food.  Too funny :)


"Ganga's" helper (this is how Matthew manages to say Grandpa)!


cousins!!!!


Those poor ducks...EVERY duck that Matthew saw, he chased! If we didn't watch him, he would have been long gone chasing after all the "duck ducks!!" (Matthew)


Joshua and Auntie Holly ;)


LOVE ;D


Watching Grandpa feed the big camel! 



not quite Mr. and Mrs. yet.... 4 more sleeps!!!!!



Matthew loves elephants ;)


Baby Aaron-D (Alaina gave him this nickname)


This camel was catching crackers as Nathan was tossing it to him :) Talented!!!



Matthew didn't miss pointing out even one duck!  This duck was all over the park...you were supposed to follow it around the park :) so, he pointed out MANY ducks!


This picture is for you Mum...I can send it to you


This picture doesn't really do a good job at what I was trying to accomplish...
a very tall ostrich and a very small Mum LOL!!! ;)


We've seen all the animals, now it's time to play in the playground!!!


Matthew and Aaron-D


Ladies of the family: (L-R)
Mum, Holly (soon-to-be-bride), Me, and Alicia


A duck!! :)  I used to play on a duck just like this when I was younger!! As you can see, Matthew loved it too!! *KISS*




Remember in a previous post how I said that Matthew has NO FEAR.....
this slide was huge! and yes, he LOVED it!!!


There we are all the way at the top...


Matthew going down...Uncle Joel was standing under the slide and Grandma was at the bottom so nobody worry...he was safe!!! 


Joshua went down several times! It was a lot of fun!!!
(You can kind of tell how tall it was...Joel is climbing up the ladder with Matthew)


After a very fun day at the "zooz" we went out to Godfather pizza for dinner! The perfect way to finish off a good day...pizza!!!!!!

Thanks Dad and Mum for some great memories!! We love you!!!
