Miami Metro Zoo

Calvin and the kids had a 3-day weekend, so we felt like we needed to go do something... so, we decided on the zoo. I am so glad that we did, because we had a blast! Not really because the zoo was that great, but we rented this 4 passenger bicycle and it was SO much fun! The walk ways were huge and you just rode your bike up to the animals, if you wanted to stop, then we did, or sometimes just drove on by. You've seen 1 deer, elephant, zebra, you've seen them all. HA! It was fun... check out the pictures below. Of course, we got rained on ......

How was YOUR Valentine's Day??

Ours was SWEET !!!

SOUTHBEACH ...

After their cruise, Rebecca and Brian still had 1 more night here in South Florida, so we decided to go exploring w/ them. We had never been to South Beach, so we all loaded up and drove to Miami. The beach was beautiful white sand and huge!! There were people playing volleyball, working out, sunning and a little bit of swimming ( the water is kind of chilly right now). After walking around a bit we decided to grab some lunch. Oh my gosh... never again!! I don't even know the name of the restaurant, but don't ever eat down there unless you are ready to drop some coin!! Calvin and I shared a meal and the kids shared a meal and 1 cocktail and it was 75.00!! NO KIDDING!! I wanted to throw up! Lesson learned.... One more thing we can take off of our 'to do' list. We've now seen South Beach... where do we go next??

Colby was just being Colby that day and would not take any pictures. (stubborn thing!)

More Visitors ...

Brian and Rebecca Christensen from Nashville came in a few weeks ago. We picked them up at the airport and they spent the night w/us. We just hung out on the back porch and chatted.. it was nice to see them as it has been a long time. The next day we took them to the port to go on a long awaited cruise... 7 nights... away from their 3 boys... a well needed break for Rebecca! They had a wonderful time and wanted to tell everyone back in Texas HI!! It was great seeing you guys!

Happy Birthday to You...

Happy Birthday Mom!! We wish we could be there with you to celebrate! We hope you had a great day... we love and miss you!! Enjoy the pics...
