At the zoo
February 7th dawned a beautiful, 70 degree, and rare windless day. Chuck and I decided to visit the zoo and found lots of people out enjoying the sun. Later, we took a drive in the Speedster and saw local parks full of families grilling and playing in the fine weather. Chuck took these pictures at the zoo, of course. The wild turkeys were especially fascinating as they strutted around getting their groove on for the hens, who didn't seem interested at all. The swan cruised by several times hoping for a handout. At least he didn't get out and chase us as he does sometimes. Chuck took several pictures of the turkey vulture before he finally turned and gave us the eye. Something tells me it's all happening at the zoo. Go for a visit, the animals will love it if you do.

Vietnamese sisters
Last Friday, Chuck had some business to take of for Lynda, our friend. Her sister was visiting from Minnesota and wanted us to bring Charis along. She had fun helping Vin sort through plastic containers and running around on Lynda's red carpet in the basement. There was a small shrine set up by the fireplace with a Buddah. Charis stared at it for a while and then proclaimed it was Santa. Lynda and her sister are teaching Charis to say a few things in Vietnamese. It give them great pleasure to hear her say things in their language. Charis became ill later on the day this picture was taken. Kelsey and I were on our way to a party at the dance studio and Charis started spewing. Not a fun evening. She is all better now.
