Savannah had her party at the local zoo last weekend.

And my favourite animals at the zoo, the River Otters. The children drew on brown paper, and treats and shells were placed in gourds and wrapped in it, so we saw all three retrieving their food.
just how sweet, smile, chubby and gummy do you have to be during the day for your parents to let you get away with all sorts of ridiculous sleep shenanigans at night?

Thomas using his ‘listening ears’ with Coach Zoe:
