We went for bagels this morning and then decided to spend a little time with the butterflies, and Rosy of course. Check out the cute layer cake skirt I whipped up for Riley.

Put me in the zoo pants
Posted in Friends, Life, Riley, Wildlife on August 2, 2011 | 1 Comment »
That’s what these pants remind me of, remember this book? Today was much cooler so we thought a trip to the zoo was in order. Riley had the unique opportunity to pet a baby alligator. I can’t even describe how excited she was. She was very concerned about the leopard falling off the swing while [...]
Before Jason had to head back to work we took a trip to the zoo. Much fun was had by all.
As many times as we have gone to the Butterfly Pavillion, Riley has always admired Rosy, the tarantula. Several months ago Riley started ‘practicing’ holding Rosy using her stuffed animals.

My first official Mother's Day was fantastic! I do have to say every day is Mother's day for me thanks to a fabulous husband and daughter. Keith was very sweet and brought me donuts (my special request). Then we headed out for an afternoon at the zoo. I think everyone else had the same idea as it was one of [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I looked out our kitchen window and saw this critter hanging out in our backyard.
