A Day At The Zoo…

started with lunch at Johnny Rockets where it was a bit busy so we had to wait a little…. and play with the camera of course…

After yummy onion rings we drove on over to the zoo.  Iz was so excited, every minute, “Is this the zoo mommy?”

Iz and the Hippo

We took a snack break on the hippo.

Tractor Girl

My little farm girl took a spin on the tractor.

Climbing Earthworms

And climbed earth worms.

It was such a good day, perfect fall weather, sunny and a bit on the cool side, but still warm.  We ran around the zoo for hours.

Did you notice the poncho?  Lovely find in a consignment shop.  Inspiration for the yellow farm girl poncho.  She’s already asked me for more.  How many ponchos does a girl need?

Our Days

I haven’t checked and counted the days that we’ve been here (in Seattle that is…), but it’s been a few weeks and we are meeting new friends, catching up with old friends and visiting some really fun places.  We’ve had a few nights of tears and missing our old home, but when morning comes and play begins, we stash those feelings for a wee bit.

Painted Face

Iz and Kerouac

This little pup wandered into our lives one day, just walked right up to the front door.  We took care of it for a few days before we took it to the vet, then to the shelter to await his new home.  Iz cried as we left him at the shelter, she loved this little pup so, so much.

Breakfast

We made Dutch Babies one morning.  yum.

Seattle Rainbow

It’s been just lovely, the weather is different from what I remember, the storms now include thunder and lightening and this one ended with a rainbow.
