Como Zoo

We went to the Como Zoo this past Saturday and had a very nice day overall. Josh’s younger sister Jenny joined us in our adventure, and we had a good time. There aren’t a huge variety of animals, but there is a beautiful conservatory, and they had butterflies as well, which was one of my favorite things, aside from the large kitties. Unfortunately, a lot of the animals were indoors napping, and due to very poor lighting and dirty windows, we couldn’t get good pictures of some of them. However, here are some highlights from the day.

Catch Up!

Eek, I’ve been neglecting my blog due to a little bit of a funk I’ve been in. I do have pictures of from the races at Canterbury, though! It was fun and I got a little bit of sun, which was quite nice. We do, however, wish they had had more than just one race each of the ostriches and the camels.

We saw this little guy on the side of a street we drove by – isn’t he sweet? Must have been camera shy, though, because he refused to look over at the camera. :p

Toodles!

One last blog entry before we leave on our trip tomorrow night! I’m so excited! I’ve been so busy and I’ll probably be running around the rest of the night and tomorrow morning doing last minute things. The plan is to take a nap before we leave tomorrow night, but I think there’s a good chance that I’ll be too excited and just squirm around a lot. :p

We’ve had some new visitors to the bird feeders the past couple of days as you can see by the pictures we managed to get through the window. Uzi was making odd noises watching what I assumed would be a squirrel Monday evening, and then we peeked out the window and right below it were a pair of ducks! We startled them I think and they quickly waddled away, so we got a shot of their retreat, but yesterday while I was at work, they returned and Josh got the other photos. This morning I also saw a pair of pheasants next to the road, which was neat, and our bunny friends are, of course, daily visitors.

Off to pack now! I have a feeling my work day tomorrow is going to drag ridiculously and I’ll be tapping my feet and squirming and antsy, so who knows – perhaps I’ll post again before I leave. :p
