Up, Up, and Away...
I mean really SOARING...look at our girl's grades!!!
working hard...super...wow!
NASA's Ballunar Festival
Polo Match - Gracie LOVED this polo pony! I guess because it's the one color we don't have!
These guys and their ponies are so impressive, so athletic...a real joy to watch when the mallet connects and the ball goes flying!
Love being so close to the action!
It's a little whip-lash-ey (kinda like watching tennis!), but soooo much fun!

Pieces & Scraps...
I know...it has been a while. With school and Girl Scout meetings (both for Grace and for me, as one of her troop's co-leaders) and riding lessons and my regular chores of caring for our home, our yard and our animals, well...blog posts always seem to get pushed to the end of the list. Hopefully, the following will catch you up...
Being members of the zoo, we received an invitation to some "enrichment talks" a few weekends ago...it wasn't too hot and was nice walking around the zoo, but the talks weren't too enriching :( For each, they threw some food out and let us watch them eat. The food did get them closer for photos though.
The kudu was trying to crack the watermelon with his horn...I felt like Dr. Doolittle, "Back up, buddy. Back up!"
I need the ant-eater for our yard!
Jack's Watusi...so big, but their eyes show gentleness, too.
They have major headache racks...
...and are in big need of a pedicure. ;)
She's wearing out...
You'll see us having breakfast with these guys soon...
All of the monkeys are very pensive today...
peek-a-boo, I see you
The sea lions are always a must-see, along with the elephants, giraffes and monkeys
We saved the train ride for last...then look at the one we got. Seriously? I guess this will be the name of his next car!
Garcie's first 2nd grade field trip was to The Children's Museum. We went here last year, too, but this time, they provided us lunch and we could stay for free time afterwards. Gracie had a great time playing vet...
checker at the grocery store...
flowmaster...
horticulturist...
scientist...
and waitress.
Kelly taking shelter...it was quite the soaker!
...and she was unleashed!
Last but not least, for Marmie...proof that we have bluebirds! :)
Next up, there's Halloween and Gracie will be in the Opening Ceremonies for the 100 year celebration for Girl Scouts at the George R. Brown Convention Center in early November...see you back here when I can :)
