What a great day we had with PD being home on a Monday. He has been working late a lot and we have both been under a lot of stress lately with various pressures in our lives. But today we set it all aside to sleep in a bit, make a big breakfast, go for a hike and then while PD made dinner on the grill for us, I did a little Columbus Day craft with the girls. It was cold but sunny and annoying pressures aside, we are truly blessed. Before the adults even woke up, PK2 made this out of Playmobiles and construction paper.
After breakfast I would have loved to take the opportunity to send the girls out with PD while I did some shopping or deep cleaning, but I fought that temptation and joined them for a lovely hike.
Two deer ran right across our path, but I do not have a picture of that because it happened so fast. We saw a lot of birds. We saw a whole tree full of bluebirds. PK1 says this is a mockingbird, can anyone verify that?
And here is our craft:
Before you get too impressed, remember when PD and I built this cardboard Santa Maria? That was 2010...an election year! How did we manage that?

Skyping with Richie
So far, this is the closest I have gotten to moonching on my precious new nephew. Just a couple more weeks and I will meet him for real!

Born to be Wild
Gram and Papa bought a membership to The Wilds this summer and treated us to the most amazing safari adventure! It was the perfect day for it. Really chilly for August, but just what you would want for a two hour open car safari.
Ready to spot the wild animals!
Dromedary camel and baby dromedary!
I don't remember what these were...African cows?
Black Rhino!
Awesome family picture someone took of us at one of the lookout points:
Gram and Papa with a giraffe in the background:
We were so close to several giraffes.
PK1 is kind of into swans right now. She says, "take my picture with the swan mommy"
Thank you Gram and Papa! That was Wild!
