ROUTINES & VACATIONS

Well it's back to school time - that means back to routines! Here's my standard 1st day of school pictures. Addison is totally used to this now. He's grown so much, I can't hardly believe he's in 10th grade!My sister and her son came down in August for her vacation. We had a great time. Everyone (except me) went to a Chargers Game. Please see Jenn's August 10th blog post: http://www.jennsgems.blogspot.com/ for pictures and details. I can tell you they had an excellent time (I did too because I didn't have to go to a football game!) :)
We decide to go to Sea World and the Zoo while they were down. Here's some shots from the zoo.

Here's a shot of Addis & Q in front of the SD Zoo sign - (another must take photo).
I saw this bird right away as we went into the kids zoo. What fun lovely colors.

I thought the light on this camel was lovely, even if he does look a bit sad.I've always loved the flamingos. They're so cool and different looking.This lovely smiling face is a man named, John. John was truly a blessing to us on our trip to the zoo. Quentin was on a mission to see an armadillo and John took us back the VIP area and not only brought out an armadillo for us to see and pet, but brought out an alligator too. HOW COOL IS HE?!
Don't ya just love Meerkats?!Here's a shot of Addis on the verge of a smile at the zoo.Here's a peek at the Bell Tower in Balboa Park. You can see this from the SkyTram at the zoo. Another shot from the SkyTram.
Thanks for reading!
Blessings,
Aubrey

Yeah for the update. Your animal shots are cool espcially the flamingo. Our family loves the meerkats also. They are funny little animals. I am glad you were excited to get to pet an armadillo and alligator- I wouldn't have been. I am with you on being glad to skip a football game. Glad you have been having fun. Can't belive Addison is in 10th grade. Wow! Crystal
