Columbia

Ben had to be in Columbia for a National Guard dinner so the boys and I went along and hung out around Columbia for the weekend.  We went to EdVenture, to the mall, and to Riverbanks Zoo.  It was a lot of fun.

Kyler thought he was hot stuff propped up on the sleep number bed in out hotel.

Ben enjoyed feeding the lorikeets.

Kyler also thought the lorikeets were really neat.

He even liked them after one bit him on the finger.  It didn't slow him down at all and he continued to try to touch them.

Bradley had fun feeding the goats.

And Kyler enjoyed petting them.

The boys had the most fun feeding the giraffes.  Bradley had to get several handfuls of food to feed him.

We weren't sure at first if Kyler was going to feed the giraffe, but it didn't take him long to get warmed up to him.

Ben and I stopped for a quick picture.  Bradley is becoming a pretty good photographer.
