Today and other days

today i went with evan on a class field trip to the zoo. it was actually a beautiful day. i'm not a huge fan of the zoo (or disneyland) but if it makes the kids happy then i want to be there

my favorite exhibit is the gorillas. they are a crack up to watch ~ check out that huge butt!

this peacock gave us a very colorful show, too bad my camera sucks

last week...i began doing this intense hike on every free morning i have. it is a hard workout and it really works my butt and thighs. i decided i found my new love ~ hiking. it smells so amazing on the trail. the view is breath taking. the workout is mighty. the cost...free. i cancelled my gym membership.

when i get to the top of my destination i sit and enjoy the view. this is the view.

this is some of the hike and the trail i follow. ian took me on it last week. he rode his bike up and i hiked it. why did it take me so long to find this workout?

evan and friends

ethan and his best friend noah. they are two peas in a pod and are inseperable.

here is goose and ellie. the third amigo, cassie, isn't in this photo but they too are inseperable.

i'm so glad that my kids have found real friendships. my childhood friends and i shared thee best of times and i have lasting memories. and i still have those friendships. i hope my kids stay kids for a very long time.
