And Finally....

..... I would also like to say Happy Birthday to Uncle David and Auntie Jean - they both had a birthday earlier this month!  And last, but not least....

.... our Little Smiley turned two last Sunday.  Goodness - it doesn't seem like two years ago that we looked for the first time into those big brown eyes!  In honour of that special day, Mommy and Daddy took him to the zoo.  Happily, Poppa and I were invited to accompany them!  They had been to that zoo before.  There were free pony rides for little people...and Munchie had a pony ride, but Little Smiley couldn't get on the pony because he wasn't two yet!  So, on Sunday....

.... he got his pony ride!  He was so happy!  Of course,

... Munchie had to have a turn too.  Then we stopped for a Creature Feature show...

... where both little boys got to touch some interesting creatures, ie.- a baby kangaraoo, a large snake, a large lizard of some variety, a lemur...and a few other things which now escape my memory.  After that....

... we headed up the trail to see what else we could see....

... like this camel........he was one of the more exotic animals on view - and I couldn't believe how tall he was.  A few years ago Auntie Cecile was on a trip and rode one of these critters.  I kept looking up and trying to imagine her perched away up there!  Of course, there were other animals there too - some we were quite familiar with....

... and this one was Squeegie's favourite!  There were several varieties of monkeys cavorting around....

.. and we especially enjoyed watching these two!  As we were leaving, I managed to get....

... those two little monkeys to stand still long enough for a picture with this little bear!  All in all, we had a fun day with the little boys as well as Mommy and Daddy.  Thanks for inviting us.... and Happy Birthday to the youngest member of our family!
