My Saturday Trip to the Zoo

Here we are at another of our family's favorite fall spots: the zoo. It is hard to go all summer without a visit, but now that the weather is good again, we're back.

There are four monkeys in this picture. Can you find them all?



This little girl loves reptiles SO much, you would think she has scales. Btw, there IS glass between E and the gator.


I love this picture mostly because out of the blue, Z decided to put his head in the snakes mouth and it is just so funny.

Here is Z and the flamingos. As some of you know, Z and E assigned animals to each of us. I am the flamingo. Z is a hippo. E is a cheetah and T is an elephant. We don't know how this originate. Unfortunately, this zoo has all these animals except the hippo.

My Husband's New Car

It was finally time to trade the good old blue truck in! The children no longer fit in the backseat. We had to get a larger vehicle. I dreaded taking the kids car shopping, but they really loved it. I thought it would be a real pain to load car seats to test drive cars. But it wasn't that bad. The kids really loved checking out all the cars. E wanted the Toyota Sequoia (too expensive!). After much research and negotiation, we settled on a Honda Pilot. We are very happy with it. Here is the proud new owner.
