Birthday Party at the Zoo

As part of our ongoing celebration of our birthdays, Emilee and I decided to head to the zoo with whoever else could come along. We picked up in-laws Stacy and Jared Loveless and bestest buds Derek and Stephanie Aud, packed a light picnic lunch and headed down to the Hogle Zoo. Photo time!

Yes, the kitty was my favorite thing at the zoo. Can I take it home with me, pweeeze?




Their bird show is really quite impressive. Our group agreed that it by itself was worth the price of admission.

This little fellow (you'll want to click the picture to zoom in) perched on Stephanie's shoulder for a long time before we bopped it off. We jokingly referred to it as her attacker.



The only thing "light" about this picnic lunch is the fact that we followed it up with a trip to Toucano's. You ladies outdid yourselves!

Animal Kingdom's Tree of Life

With Emilee being a biologist, Disney's Animal Kingdom is particularly special for her and, by extension, to me. Animal Kingdom's central feature is a massive tree called the Tree of Life. This is no ordinary tree, though - it's been carefully carved (shaped, whatever) with the forms of
hundreds of animals. How many can you find?
