FINALLY!!

I know...I know...it's been three weeks (wasn't that the common saying at Ricks?) Fellow alumni...back me up! Anyway, yes, it has been a while since I last posted. We have been doing some fun and exciting things (like forgetting to take the camera to Galveston) which WAS a fun day trip...my parents can attest to that one, but of course, no camera! We will have to remember that the next time we take a trip down so that Caleb can see the ocean for the second time! We are also starting training (mostly Caleb and myself...I do most of the running, Caleb just enjoys the ride or watches Thomas the Train!) for the SLC 1/2 marathon in April which is fun and exciting! (I LOVE this time of year!)
Since we don't have extremely horrible winter weather here in Houston, we decided that it would be nice to take Caleb to the zoo again...I know, right?? The ZOO in January...in Houston, it can be done! We did have some silly moments as we went on our little adventure...the animals were all asleep this morning but it didn't stop Caleb from covering his ears as we walked up to the Lion's Den...this is all we found!












So the zoo opened new African exhibit that included a HUGE Chimpanzee habitat...we found a clear spot by one of the windows and were looking at a few of the monkeys when this guy strolled around the corner. He completely FREAKED Caleb out and he yelled a little bit and took some steps back!


As you can see that the monkey just sat there and watched us for a while!




Some Rhinoceros were also added to the new exhibit!


The Merry Go Round...need I say more!


Caleb had so much fun he kind of threw a small fit as we were leaving...I did too! It IS fun!


This little guy was just holding onto the side of the cage...it's sad and cute all mixed together!




RED PANDA! This guy is the BEST part of the zoo!


Here are just a few updated pics of our boy!




He's getting ready to go to a business meeting! He has some decisions to make on how to make the trains on Sodor "really useful!"

I can't believe you forgot the camera! What kind of blogger are you?!
I can't wait until the weather warms up so I can take the kids to our zoo. I hear they just got a red panda. I love the picture of that poor animal clinging to the cage. So cute. Did you ask the zookeeper if you could adopt it? Maybe that would cheer it up.
