Day at the Zoo

The weather happened to be awesome, David picked me up at 9 am and we headed to the Dallas Zoo. What an adventure Clare had, from the children's zoo, to the monkeys, lions and giraffe's. She had a full day of adventure and was pooped out. Here she is crawling in a turtle shell, look to the slide show for all. She wasn't wild about the carousel ride. LOL

Wonderful day with Troy and Brenda, received a new picture of the baby tennyson. Due in December and the kids are going blind. They don't want to know the sex. We had a wonderful time playing trivea, cocktails, lunch and lots of laughes. Great day for me!

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that...
