Another new friend from the Zoo.

Day 245

Ivan

Today we made a trip up to Zoo Atlanta where we met the grand old man, Ivan.  Our library has a wonderful program:  We check out a video about the history of the zoo, which is amazing, and when we return it, we get 4 free tickets to the zoo.  That is no small favor...$20+ each!

With the camera a little fritzy, I will post a few highlights from our trip throughout the week.

Day 159

Yeah...it's been that kind of week.

Day 154

Day 153

Beautiful hair, huh?  Now imagine the face that is on the other side of that hair.  Keep imagining...

Day 124

(Courtesy of my iPhone):  Anyone who knows me know that I am NOT a bug person.  ((shudder)) But there are some critters you just can't help but be impressed with.  This praying mantis was hanging around outside Hobby Lobby today as I walked to my car.  The brown camouflage doesn't quite match the yellow concrete of the light post, but he is awe-inspiring, nonetheless.

Day 116

Ghost Daughter's homework...observe nature and draw a picture of it on the patio.  Of course, Angel Jr. was as far as she needed to go.  Hello, bunny!

Day 86

On our nightly walk, Danté and I met the neighborhood squeak toys.  Oh so tempting...

Day 80

CAMPUS PATROL!  One of the many feral cats who guard the university against all manner of pests...gee, wish the they worked on t... a.............

Day 68

This is what the creative ghost children do when I'm at work.  Ghost Daughter is on a Pokémon kick, and she fashioned a little Pikatu mask for herself and one for her dog, S'more (inset).  She outfitted a couple more stuffed animals as well.  What a hoot!

Day 64

EEEEkkk!  Yes, that's Ghost Daughter holding a spider crab.  She shrieked when the docent mentioned the word "spider," but when she realized it was a crab and not an eight-legged creepy-crawly, she was all about holding that "sweet" little sea critter.  We ended our weekend with a personal party with some marine life and a little more time in the ocean.  So now our sun-burned selves are winding down and snuggling the ghost guys back at home.

Day 6

Yeah...that dog is saying it:  TGIF!
