It was a special day for the family. Bill took a vacation day and we all had a fun family outing! We wanted to see how the boys would do with a longer travel time, so we went out to the west side to the Wildlife World Zoo.
It was chilly, but we had these adorable new sweatshirts. We all had a blast, and again, the pictures do the talking.

Brendan’s first carousel ride! He had the whole thing to himself (with Daddy of course). Brendan refused to sit on an animal alone, so the ride operator suggested that Bill could ride with him!

Two worn out boys, on the way home!

We wish a speedy recovery to Gramma who just found out today that she has shingles!! We wish we could help her feel better fast.

The pictures speak for themselves today.

It has been raining almost non stop for 2 days now and it is chilly outside! The sun came out for a short time so Trevor and I got our bike ride in. We went searching for construction equipment.
The stretch of canal near our house is being improved. The whole thing is empty (except rainwater) and dug out. There have been tons of work trucks here, but none today.

Found them!

I kept showing him how to put his hands in his pockets to stay warm. I need to get him some mittens!

Even Brendan was all bundled up to be outside, looking all sporty and cute
