Family Fun Day

Sue invited our e-decorator, Laura who was in town visiting her family from Chicago over to see her creative work. The dark blue pillow cases are not part of Laura’s plan for our room but the cat is integral to the design.

Laura thought we should bring the 1999 Japanese Pot up to the room because it embodied all of the classiness and correct colors required of this design.

We got some free tickets for the Minnesota Zoo at the St. Paul Prep orientation session. We went to the zoo yesterday on our first Family Fun Day of the school year. This is a grizzly bear taking a dip in the pool right in front of a large gathering of zoo tourists.

It was a hot day but we spent about four hours walking around in this enormous zoo.

Sue showed her true farm roots by making friends with the goats.

It was Tokyo Hot with temps in the mid 90s.

This caribou was running laps just for the sport of it. I think caribou are also called reindeer as in Santa Claus’ Eight Tiny Reindeer.

It is really a great zoo and only about 20 minutes from our house.

We even went to the new screened-in outdoor butterfly exhibit. Afterwards we stopped in at the U to drop off Kaz’s phone and computer for her brother Hide to work his computer scientist miracles. He did perform those miracles and now Kaz has a functioning computer and phone! Hurray!
