Abilene Zoo

 Taylor had to speak in Abilene on Saturday afternoon so the kids and I decided to ride along with him and visit the zoo.  I have not been to this zoo since I was pretty young and my grandparents lived in Abilene.  Some parts were very much the same, but there were some new parts, too.
  We started with a picnic lunch
 Sophie was our navigator.

 Feeding the ducks
 Sally in tow.  This is the 3rd zoo Sally has visited with Sophie.  Too bad I didn't take the time to fix her hair!
 Feeding the giraffes was the best part.







Thankfully they have updated the playground since I was little.  I vaguely remember slides on the backs of animals. 

I had a great day with my two little monkeys!

Halloween 2011

 We started the day with Ghost Toast.
 Then JC's class went to the pumpkin patch.





 That evening we made the rounds to Trunk or Treat at Southland


 and then to Fort Concho for Sophie's school carnival.








By the end of the night the Taylor and I were the ones carrying the costumes.
