Millie and Junebug: Oaktown Zoo.

Oaktown Zoo.

We had bought season passes for the Oakland Zoo and for some reason after the Frigirls moved to AZ we stopped going. Well, it was a sunny day(nothing new really), and I wanted to get out and about without spending any money and it clicked that I haven't taken advantage of our zoo passes. So we packed up our picnic and headed to Oakland.

First stop was morning tea in the flamingo garden.

Two monkey's trying to jump the fence to get to the giraffe's.

June LOVES elephants.

Mila missing Ava and Aneka a little bit.

June doesn't like the looks of this tunnel.

"I'll just stay here, thanks"

Lunchtime!

Time to get mixed up in the web.

This pic was taken right before June straddled this poor goat and tried riding her.

Mila the goat whisperer.

Qute Quotes

Mila had a sore leg and couldn't walk properly. As I tucked her into bed tonight she said "No more disco" because she couldn't dance anymore.
Today Mila referred to my bra as a top with boobs
Mila had a little plumbers crack showing so I tickled it and she responded with "don't touch my butt it's stinky!"
Sex ed according to Mila. "Boys have a peanut on their butt".
We were at dinner discussing who was messy, Mila looked at Anton and said, "you're a little bit messy Daddy", then she turned to June and said "June, you're a hot mess!".
Mila is beginning to read, so she is constantly asking how to spell the things in her surroundings. The other day she was sitting on Anton's lap, she poked him in the tummy and asked "Daddy, how do you spell chubby?"
Mila: "When I grow up I want to have a big, big, big nose!" This girl sets some high goals for herself.
When Mila is wowed by something she says "Holy Crab!!"
Mila. "Well, the party is over, I tinkled in the pool!"

It also happens to be Anton's Great Grandmother's name.
