A day at the Zoo

Siku has got to be the biggest baby I've even seen! Even though he is almost a month away from turning 1 year old, she is huge! However, it is easy to figure out which bear is the baby when he plays. Jumping in the water, popping up at the visitors, always on the go.

Today was a free day for the kids - it was a teacher in-service day, and we were heading over to have conferences with the kids teachers after our day at the zoo.

It was beautiful weather, a great day!!

Fall Photo op

I love the fall. I love the weather, the leaves, the beautiful colors! The kids were begging for us to make a big pile of leaves to jump in -and I sensed a great photo op! Even though we don't have any large trees in our yard, we get enough blown in from the bordering lots.

It was a bit of work and surprisingly Zachary even wanted to pitch in and help out. He did a great job. It made me proud to see him helping out :)
