Zoo Days

 

Zoo membership for a family of 7:  $120.00

Cost of Stingray exhibit for 6:  $6.00

Look on 3 year olds face watching the bobcats and caterpillars:  Priceless

Have you ever noticed that you can take your kids to all these fabulous places just teaming with opportunities to learn all about various exotic and unique creatures only to discover all they really want to see is the mundane and ordinary?

Yes, my 3 year old was entranced by the large yellow caterpillars and growling white bobcat that were prowling the savanah at our zoo this week. 

Conversation I had w/ above 3 year old:

Me:  3 year old, would you like to go look at the zebra's?

3 yo:  No, that's ok.  I want to watch the trucks.

Me after 5 min. :  3 year old, would you like to go see the baby baboon?

3 yo:  No, that's ok.  I want to watch the trucks.

Me after another 5 min.:  3 year old, would you like to see the lions?

3 yo:  No, that's ok.  I want to watch the trucks.

And so it continued until Daddy came over w/ the rest of the kids from the sting ray exhibit and it was time to go home.

And that is why you get a zoo membership.  So you can go at any time to see the trucks.

Happy Birthday my little Mango

We celebrated my youngests first birthday on Tuesday.  Here are a few pictures of his introduction to chocolate.  Do you think he liked it?

Feel the endorphins rushing through his system?

 

Happy Birthday my sweet Wee Gillis Mango.  We love you so very much.

Where am I? part 4 The hunt is over!

The time has come!  I hope you have enjoyed the hunt. :-)

 

Another well known area of these old hallowed halls.  It's not a yard, but rather a "Lawn" these halls open up to. 

 

Here's the library that you  mentioned Donna.  But, it's not in his very famous home.  It's in here instead.

The famous Rotunda.  Know where I am yet?????

Here's the very famous man who started this prestigious university!  It's not George Washington, but Houston wasn't too far off with his guess of famous men !


Now do you know????

Click here if you're still in the dark.


Congratulations Houston!!!  I am very impressed.  The chocolates are on the way to the Unsell home.  And Jen, honestly, you all certainly deserve it the most.  You really thought about this!

Stay tuned for another "Where am I" where we visit another  University!  Brush up on your Universities Jen!

Where am I? part 3

You guys are awesome!  Jen, you are cracking me up.  I love the way you are really thinking this thing through.  You know, I could just send you some chocolate.  All you have to do is ask.  LOL  You are going to laugh when you find out the answer. 

Here are two more pictures, so keep guessing.  We do have a winner but I won't tell you who yet or whether they left the answer on my blog or emailed me (I've gotten a couple of private emails).  That way you need to use your own detective skills to figure it out and not just look at the answers others gave. :-D

 

Here's your hint based off of your comments.  It is old!  How's that for a hint. ;-)

Where am I? part 2

I'm going ahead and posting some more pictures and give the answer later today.  Feel free to keep guessing, or if you've already given an answer but want to change your mind, go ahead.  Hint #2 these are all taken in the same spot on the University Grounds.  It's a specific location that is well known.  Well known for those who've been there at least.  I'll give you more hints w/ later pictures.  The last picture I post, later today, will be the hint as well as the answer.

Saturday photo hunt - Gross

Ok, this is gross.  It makes me grossed out just posting it, but it is the theme for this week.   Just so you know, I didn't know it looked like this until after the photo was developed. LOL

 

What a charming picture of my now 3 year old's first Christmas! LOL
