Aquasaurs




Ok, so I remember them as "Sea Monkeys" when I was a kid, but they are now called "Aquasaurs". I could not resist buying these for Zoe. After all the set up, she looked in and asked just how soon the creatures would grow. After 3 minutes, she lost interest. After 3 days, we had a tank full of funk, dumped the whole thing in the trash. Never again!

Luisenpark...one of our favorite places


What a long winter! Now that we have a little bit of sun, Zoe and I headed out to Luisenpark for a few hours. We were the only ones there! As always, we had a fantastic time.

Gotta gotta cut loose! Footloose!


Wow, things have been incredibly crazy around here. Sam and James are in the school production of Footloose, and have been working hard getting all their lines, dance moves, and songs memorized. Since they never practice at home, I really didn't know what to expect. I took Zoe to opening night a few nights ago, and went again last night. I was blown away! Those boys were acting, singing, and dancing....and very well, I might add. Zoe loved seeing her cousins up on stage, and even danced along to some of the numbers in the show. I tried to take decent some pics and video clips, but it was difficult without being able to use a flash. Will post some soon...In any case, it won't do them justice - they were awesome!

It's starting to warm up just a little - Zoe and I headed to the zoo recently. She loves the zoo, and spent a long time just watching the zebras. Perhaps it's time for a season pass. We're gearing up for more company....it's going to be a busy spring!
