Zoo-oooooom

It was a warm, sunny day - perfect for zooming around the zoo!

Look...the penguins are outside

The big fuzzy one is the baby!!

Check out my caribou

Ready to go see some more animals?

The Komodo dragon is trying to lick us!

The newest snow leopard...she just came on display yesterday

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

She's a bit shy (unlike me!)

Daddy and me...watching the lynx

Hey Daddy...why is that bunny hanging there?

I think the big kitty is going to get it?

Yup...

the bunny is....lunch

Snoozing Red Panda

Magnificent tiger

Funny flamingoes

They sure have skinny legs!

Even the flamingoes don't mind a bit of a snow in the mild temperature

The baby giraffe and her parents

The baby pigs are getting bigger!  Looks like they enjoy used xmas trees!

Curious meerkat

Taking a rest with caribou

C'mon...there's more to see!

Into the jungle

All steamy...and HOT

ICE CREAM!  A great way to cool down :)

Sleddin'

Troy has been enjoying the snow...and the sledding it affords him.  Whether he is being pulled in the sled - or whizzing down the hills - he is happy.

Laying down on the job

Down the hill...

Up the hill...

Baby Clara

Baby Clara is growing up!  We went to visit her this week in Fernie...and she is a lot more fun than she was a year ago :)  Plus, she has great toys!

Clara in her play room

She has teeth now too!

Here is Clara, a year ago (when Troy saw her last)

Troy helping Clara figure out how to play with all her toys :) 

Like this, Clara!

Hmmmm...maybe it needs some fixing?

Tubby Time!!

Clara didn't mind sharing her tubby with me

Or her toys...sometimes :)

All scrubbed up

Well, Clara, I think you'll make a fine lil cousin - and playmate!

Oma is Here!!

Oma came to visit us...and Troy is taking full advantage of "Oma-time"...which includes lots of games, stories and cuddles.  She even bought him a keyboard - so he can "serenade" us :)

Holding hands with Oma

Hanging out with Oma (notice the nice slippers she knitted me!!)

Trying out my new keyboard!

Lil Maestro

Thanks Oma!!

A New Year

Happy 2016!!  Troy is enjoying the New Year with some "new" things...

Troy's "new" look...(yes, they are Mommy's glasses)

Troy helping with some baking with careful measure

and some mixing

and, of course, taste-testing!

Troy now helps with the dishes too!

Trying out the "new" lego

Peeking through the towers

Helping with the laundry too :)

Hope your New Year beats doing the laundry!!
