The Goetz's Go to the Zoo (where they belong!)


no zoom here, we were maybe 10 feet away from these rhinos

zebra!


Lily playing on the big tree trunk



mama and baby monkey


the giraffes were shy, stayed far away

ugh, damn you Jason

mommy gorilla with her baby, she was very protective and got upset when too many pictures with flashes were taken

Lily's favourite, the otters

parrott

leopard


poor Emily was confined to the stroller all day cause 5 minutes into the park she lost a shoe, luckily they had it at lost and found on our way out

wolves, Jason took like 30 pictures of them, he's obsessed

the polar bears, poor things, it was a hot day!


this one needed a bath desperately

Dorie!

jelly fish

wallaby's

getting to know a komodo dragon

kangaroos, by far the best exhibit cause you could go on a walkabout right through their enclosure!

Alice the camel has 2 humps!

Lily and the "wild" horses


It was a great trip. We stayed at the Delta Hotel and the girls loved it. Between the elevator and the huge pool with kid's slide I don't think they ever wanted to leave! (quite frankly I didn't either!) The only downside was that our room wasn't a suite so after we put the kids to bed at 8pm we were forced to do this:

yes, we're sitting on the bathroom floor watching a movie on the girls' portable DVD system. Very uncomfortable for the pregnant lady!

Kitchen Backsplash

the plan: tile the kitchen backsplash, cause you know, my parents can't visit without us using them for cheap labour.

Before

wow, what difference already!

Grandpa working hard

that was FAST!

it looks like Jason's just watching, but he was in charge of cutting all the tile, just waiting to see what he needed to cut next

it turned out sooooo great! Makes our kitchen look finished and all fancy-like
