Ira and Some Animals

Last month Ira had few encounters with animals. First, Ira and Kirsten went to the Nashville Zoo . I was stuck at work. Daddy misses out on all the fun.


Unfortunately, trying to wrangle a toddler (he's a toddler now, by the way. Crazy) makes it hard to take good pictures. At least that's Kirsten's excuse for not taking any good pictures. In this picture Ira's looking at some llamas. Maybe they're alpacas. I don't know. I was at the library.



Here Ira is in the petting zoo headed for a goat. This leads into our next animal encounter. We stopped in Asheville, NC on our way home from Charleston last month and took Ira to the WNC Nature Center to commune with the animals.



This bear climbed a tree for us, which was awesome. I didn't know non-koala/panda bears could climb trees. This black bear can. And fast. Faster than I could. Ira didn't really understand how cool this was to watch.



Ira did understand how cool it was to hang with sheep and goats, though. He doesn't always look very excited, but Ira is having the time of his life here.







Look at those horns! That's a ram. Crazy.
