The weather is nice and cool here today, so in honor of T's birthday and our usual Friends Fun Fridays we went to the zoo. The kids (including Tristan) had a great time.
The zoo here is under a HUGE expansion and construction project. The first phase has already been completed, which is the new entrance and gift shop. When I first walked in I got very excited... it was beautiful... but the beauty quickly faded. The Abilene Zoo has a lot of potential but its building and expansion has got caught up in red tape... I know someday that the inside will match the outside... and I am sad that we won't be here to see that.
So today we adopted two Zebras for Christmas gifts for my Aunt Karen and Uncle John. Grantie (AK) made Braden a Zebra costume for Halloween and he thought it would be only fitting to return the favor :-)
side note: Am I worried that my aunt will get her surprised ruined? Nah... she never reads the blog !
