Last Day Of Summer Break

School starts tomorrow. I'm not ready. They're not ready. But you can't stop the inevitable. We started the day by going to the orientation. They saw their desks, I paid tuition and all the other fees, and I dropped off all of the Epi Pens and food allergy instructions for the Little Man.

Then I asked them how they wanted to spend their last day of freedom and they both said the "zoo". I brought a camera but I forgot it in the car and since everyone else had the same the same idea that we did, I wasn't about to walk back 3 miles to get it. So I'll have to leave you with cell phone pictures.
Something about the cell phone flash made the Little Man look possessed. It's not a good look. Here they are working in the Science Center in the rain forest.
The Little Man finds a friend.


The Little Man L.O.V.E.S. frogs and this was his favorite exhibit.

Yes, it's a snake. A Very Big Snake. This one happens to be Older Boys favorite. Right next to it is the Tarantula exhibit. That one is my least favorite. I can't look at it or I get light headed. I could never work in the rain forest....

Rain and fog in the rain forest.



I'm going to miss these boys... even if they do drive me crazy most of the time.

Oh and as for the earth quake, we didn't feel it. Apparently it was felt here in Cleveland but we had no idea that it happened until my husband called to check on us. I'm glad that it wasn't that bad and that everyone on the East Coast is safe tonight.

Hubs and I didn't feel it, but K- and MIL felt it at their house.

We still have a week to go. Have a great day tomorrow!

Cleveland! I didn't realize that's where you were. We were in a small town near there (Madison) a couple of weeks ago for a friend's daughter's wedding. It was just a super-quick trip, up on Sat. (8 hrs.), wedding, then back on Sunday, so there wasn't much time for anything else, but if we're ever up that way again we should meet for lunch or something.

I didn't feel anything during the earthquake but others said they did here. I can sometimes feel vibrations when trains go by a ways from our house, so I may have just thought it was that, but I don't remember even that.

Barbara,
Yes, Madison is fairly close! If you are out this way again, I'd LOVE to get together for lunch.
