Lions and Tigers and Bears.. Oh My!

We went to the Hogle Zoo last weekend with my family for my nieces 3rd birthday party. We actually had a really fun time. Neither TJ or I had been in years. It was like going for the first time again. We even rode the train (where a lady just left her sleeping baby in a stroller at the train station as she rode). We got a picture inside a hatched egg. Very cool.

We were following around all the little kids and doing all the stuff that they were doing. That is when we got this picture. We are just a couple of Prairie Dogs. And of course the notorious lion drinking fountains. It doesn't matter how old you are you have to have a current picture getting a drink. We missed the ape wall.

Should I?

We went to the DI a few days ago looking for anything that would go with our Halloween costumes... and I found this awesome jacket. I nearly changed my costume plan. I had already started collecting for my other costume so I just couldn't make the change. I don't know if you can truly appreciate this jacket without taking it on a test drive. The shoulder pads were amazing but the half jacket with frill was the best part. I almost bought it thinking I would get to use it another time but I finally put it back on its hanger and put it away.

What the Spider!

I got home from work the other day and TJ was so excited to show me something... Our precious puppies were being naughty and so TJ had to chase them and when he caught up with them, they were really interested in something on the ground. They love to play with grasshoppers so that is what he assumed it was. When he got closer he realized it was this bad boy. I actually wasn't scared of it. If I had found it in my condo I probably would have thrown up but outside it was really cool. If these pictures don't show how big it is, take it from me, it was freaking HUGE. About as big as the one Markelle and I found at work.
