Zoo Sleepover

The girls and I got to tag along with a friend's Girl Scout Troop on an overnight at the Zoo!  We had a lot of fun together :)

We slept in an education building (I was glad not to be near animals during the night!) and dropped our stuff off first.  We met the ladies who would be the 'teachers' and played a few games.



Our first stop in the Zoo was near the aquarium where there is breeding of different fish.  These ones are cuttlefish.



There were also sand-dollars and hermit crabs in another tank. 


After this building, we got a behind-the-scenes look at the aquarium. I snapped a picture from behind the moonjelly tank (my favorite!)


We also learned about these "archer fish" that can shoot water from their mouths to move food down from trees (or in this case, the aquarium glass).



We spent the evening in the aquarium, playing more games, and enjoying the creation!





At 11:30......it was finally bedtime!  We shared an air mattress and took a selfie before attempting to go to sleep ;)


In the morning the girls got to do a craft and then we met more animals!  A bearded dragon, an armadillo, a python, and an owl!





We had a great time on our overnight! :)

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime.  Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven!  "the farmer and the chef" :)  

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!
