Back at last!

We have internet again!  Wow, that was a long 5 days.  I did find some free Wi-Fi spots that I was unaware of before though!  A silver lining to every cloud. 

Yesterday we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went to the zoo with friends.  They had a half day of school so we met about 1:00 and headed out.  We had been to the zoo earlier in the year together but there were a few areas that we didn't get to take advantage of.  We also still had train tickets that we didn't use last time!  That made it a nice cheap trip since our zoo is free and we were blessed with a free parking spot right by the entrance to the zoo!  The only thing we paid for was the stingray exhibit and it was well worth the $3.  We actually got to pet and feed the stingrays.  (Their stingers had been removed.)  Then we went through the "River's Edge" exhibit and saw the rhino's, elephants and hippos.  I think the hippos were my favorite because they swim right past you, about 6 inches from your face!  I had forgotten how huge they were! 

It was a fun day.  I forgot my camera though so I apologize for the lack of pictures.  The day ended with choir practice.  I handed out the parts to the kids for the musical.  I love to watch their faces when they get their parts.  It's like Christmas!
