We visited the zoo at the end of August.  We couldn’t resist, the price was right–FREE!

It was Dragonfly’s first trip to the local zoo.  He nearly leaped out of his seat when he saw the first animal.

Papi was our tour guide for half of the day.  He definitely kept things interesting.

Papi could be found on Dad’s shoulders for the other half of the day.

Rose and I enjoyed our time together when Dad would go ahead with the Little’s.

We were able to treat the kids to some rides at the nearby amusement park since our zoo entrance was free.

It was a splendid day and wonderful way to enter the new school session.  DEO GRATIAS!

JOYfilledcreations

8.8.11 – It was hard for me to part with these custom creations.  I’ve finally shipped them out, after several months of delay.  It’s time that they bless someone else.

8.10.11 – We celebrated Dad and Dragonfly’s namesake day with a yummy treat.  It was a slight deviation from last year’s treat.

papi sleeping with a popsicle

8.9.11 – We loaded up the car on a hot afternoon.  Everyone had a cool treat.  Papi was too tired to finish his.  He fell asleep within five minutes.  The girls tried, on several occasions, to remove his popsicle but he put up a fight each time.  He held his prized possession for the entire twenty min. car ride.

science fair

8.9.11 – Praise God!  This was a nice consolation for me as I enter a new season of homeschooling.  My children are ignited with a burning love of learning. Sparkles enjoys science. She orchestrated her own lab. Who would have thought that pond scum could be so interesting?
