A Sunday at the Zoo 2/3/2013

 On a cold Sunday a few weeks ago we decided to go to the zoo to see the indoor animals. Saw some outdoor animals too.

 The zoo is a fascinating place if you like lots of animal varieties, or if you're two.

 We need one of these at home.

 But we don't need an aquarium at home. Been there. Done that. It wasn't pretty. See posts from years ago.

 Getting a ride to the car after a tiring day...

Josh and Beth's wedding 11/3/2012

We went to Josh (my cousin) and Beth's wedding in November. It was a very nice wedding, enjoyed by all...

 It was here that Nikki created what has become famously known as the "Nikki dance".
