BIRTHDAYS Happy Birthday Sally!!! WE laughed so

hard on this dinner excursion on the river!

ZOO LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS…..yes they had

them all. Our first view of the lion exhibit was

of them mating...need I say more of how

comical our zoo visit went. Next the monkeys

got into a screaming match and all the big

cats started freaking out. We steered clear of

the ostriches as they looked like they could just

walk out of their enclosure. There were

monkeys, reindeer, camels, ponies, bunnies,

flamingos and our visit with the monkeys and

tigers!!! It was a fun and funny trip to the zoo

We kept all our fingers that day...

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
