Stovetop Troubles

Oops.

I think my noodles may have boiled over just a little bit.

Animal Sightings

A bit random to help come close to wrapping up the zoo pictures from this fall.

This is as close as we’ve ever been to a moose though, and it was fun watching the baby monkey interact with its presumably mother.

Zoo Spawnlings

Stopping at that little park/sitting/rest area at the zoo, TJ climbed to the top, quickly followed by all the siblings capable of doing so.

Only tiny Thunderer was unsuccessful in getting up there.

A Second Teenager

Heaven help me.

As of today, at the time of this posting, Little Miss turns 13 down to the birth minute.

Since today is also Saturday, and she loves our floofs, I wanted to point out that no matter how old you get, Little Miss, Redflare and I are going to be there to look out for you, just like Lady Grey does to Big Red.

Halloween Intermission

Not quite sure why these pictures were in the middle of the zoo pictures, but may as well follow along and show off this house that we passed.

And my Jedi outfit.

What We’ve Built (Wedding Anniversary)

Today marks our 15th wedding anniversary.

We’ve known each other for much longer than that and we’ve built something larger than ourselves.

I feel lucky and thankful to have you, Redflare. Thank you for becoming my bride.

The Natives

The zoo that we like visiting feels very natural. Then we see a large, inactive hornet nest in a tree and a very happy squirrel along the path and appreciate this place even more.

Just glad the nest isn’t still active. :p

Pretty Birbs

Sure their uncle toted them around the zoo a bit, but we also enjoyed admiring things, like these birds.

There are a few paths through the zoo so we try and take a path we haven’t taken in a while when we next go. It keeps things interesting and we often get pleasantly surprised with what we find, like these fellows.

Newbie Rides

Newbie wasn’t going to let her uncle get away without toting her around a bit too.

Uncle Hugs

Thunderer greatly approved of her uncle who she probably didn’t actually remember. She enjoyed capitalizing on having somebody else who was willing to pick her up.

Oh, and ladies, he’s single. 😉
