Lions go "ROOOOOAAAAR"!

We took advantage of the good weather yesterday to use our annual pass and go to the zoo. We lucked out because all the animals were out and about. The bears were walking around, the giraffes were out (which is probably the first time I have seen them in several trips!) and best of all, the lions decided to gnaw on some tasty treats right next to the window. It's the closet I've ever seen them and it was pretty neat!

Nora has been saying "ROAR!" a lot when you talk about Lions, and she'll even make little claw motions. We thought she'd get a kick out of seeing the lions so close but she was pretty scared actually. Oh well, Momma and Evie got up close to take some pics!

Just chillaxin' in the dry grass since there's no rain!

Too many people shoved up against the window for me to take a good shot.

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted! We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
