Welcome to ABC Wednesday. We are on the letter Z. Yikes, the end of the Alphabet.
What fun I had meeting my brother, his wife, little Hope, my niece Michelle and her son, Jackson at the Los Angeles Zoo the week of Christmas!
My brother was here with his family from Dallas to celebrate Christmas with all of us. Hope will be 1 in January. What a joy to spend time with them all.
My niece Michelle and her son Jackson live in the L.A. area and they joined us for the fun.
It was a nice cool day at the Zoo and the animals were out and about. The bird is a Kookabura. We were singing the Kookabura song for quite a while after we saw this beauty. But since we are on the letter Z, this song would be more appropriate…
Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah
Zip a dee doo-dah, zip a dee ay
My, oh my, what a wonderful day.
Plenty of sunshine headed my way.
Zip a dee doo-dah, zip a dee ay
Mister bluebird on my shoulder
It’s the truth, it’s actual.
Everything is satisfactual.
Zip a dee doo-dah, zip a dee ay
Wonderful feelin’.
Wonderful day.
Lyrics by Ray Gilbert and Allie Wrubel.
Since we are on the letter Z, I couldn’t ignore the Zebras!
This photo is of my brother Leonard and me pushing the strollers at the zoo.

Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007 to 2015 hostage and has replaced them all with ugly black and grey boxes asking for a ransom to have them re-published. Such a frustrating bother as I go through each post to delete the ugly boxes.

Zoos and Zebras are the “things” today!
What a fun trip. I want to go to the zoo. You look as cute as can be.
So many good photoes! I love it all:)
Very nice. Sometime when you are visiting your brother go over to the Zoo in Ft. Worth. It is very nice.
Someone had a fun day at the zoo, and what can be greater than using the photos in this important project. ;o)
Nice pictures of your day at the zoo with all of your family. Zoo seems to be the word of the day. (:0)
Wonderful photos at the Zoo – looks like it was a good day.
such great pics….wish we were there and ‘plowing’ through the snow or swimming in the great meltdown here!
This a great picture booklet about a great zoo, but it is also an exZOOberant celebration of family fun together. I loved every photo and also you layout of your page. How is it done so that the blog is filled from side to side?
Wonderful Zoo pictures – it looks like you had terrific day!
What a great day! I love the LA Zoo!
Going to the zoo is great fun, but it’s even better with kids! Can’t wait until Elliott is old enough to go to the zoo!
Looks like a fun day out with lots of Zs!
Beautiful photos. Looked like a great day – and a great song.
That song never fails to raise a smile. Works well with the witual walk around the zoo.
Children or grown-up, everybody loves a day at the zoo. You showed us how happy they were.
Oh, what fun! I love your pictures. A zoo and some zebras! Very great z’s! Have a wonderful week!
you do know that’s my “I’m stressed out and about to melt down” song right?
very great photos of your family at the zoo! a picture of really good fun, especially for the kids. my z is zoo too! happy wednesday!
What a great day out you all had! My granddaughter is 7 months old now – everything is total delight at that age, isn’t it? Lovely post.
On behalf of the Team, thank you for participating in this round.
Hi Ellen, Lovely photos of beautiful children and animals. You’ve got much warmer weather than we have! I am absolutely in love with the flamingos! Great post.
Looks like a great day out! The montages are great – I especially like the flamingoes! And the zebra photos are super!
Love the Kookabura.
