This summer we plan to take the 8 older grandchildren camping. We will split them up, taking the older 4 one time and then the younger 4 at a later time. This is something we have never done and the grandchildren know more about camping than Steve & I do so it's sure to be interesting. Check back for Blog posts on both adventures. Anyway, we made the cutoff at age 4 so Jake & Cassidy will miss out on the camping expeditions. We thought it would be nice to do something just with them and decided to take them to the Plumpton Zoo today. We had a really nice time after an initial scare when Cassidy was terrified of the peacocks strutting around and shrieking. She stuck her fingers in her ears and refused to budge. Eventually she left Steve carry her and once we got away from the peacocks she relaxed and enjoyed herself. The Plumpton Zoo boasts about its giraffe and I realize I didn't even get a picture of it. Honestly the best money we spent was $4.00 for goat feed. They both loved feeding the goats more than seeing bears, tigers and giraffes. :)
Here is our day in pictures.

| This is how Cassidy walked whenever we got close to the peacocks and Jake soon started copying her! |

| Lunch time! The picnic area was full with school kids so we opted for the back of the car. |
Here is a video of them feeding the goats.
