The Waldron Family

I finally got to experience "lake effect snow". Here is the mighty escape covered in snow. Bryce in the snow up to his waste. Sledding with Mommy. Going up the hill. Austyn going down the hill. Bryce riding with cousin Neva.

A rare photo of Lilly and Bryce sitting down together. Bryce is trying to give Lilly a hug. She was less than impressed.

We went to the zoo on a very cold day, but we were lucky to see quite a few animals outside. The zoo is a refuge for injured birds that can no longer survive in the wild. This bald eagle was missing most of one of his wings. He was still beautiful. A very cooperative tiger who was not camera shy. Don't you just want to scratch his belly? Check out the paws!! I think this is a mountain goat with curly horns. I'm sure it has a fancier name, but I can't remember it now. Some penguins. The two in the middle are the cutest ones. Apparently flamingos are heartier than I thought. The most exciting part of the visit for some of the young ones was when this elephant decided to poop and pee at the same time. It was quite impressive. We read that elephants produce 175 lbs. of poop a day. And I thought changing a litter box was bad.
