To all our faithful readers, I am sorry that we haven’t posted in several days. Our household has been sick. Luckily Autumn’s fever broke last night after hanging around 101 for several days and jumping to 104 Sunday afternoon. Hunter has traded coughing for giggling and Brian and I aren’t congested anymore. Stay posted for […]

The Wild Animal Park tries to replicate the animal’s natural habitat. So you’ll see rhinos, giraffes, elephants and gazelle roaming about in the same pasture or […]
I must have said it 5 times before I left the bathroom. The very last words out of my mouth were, “Remember Autumn, no splashing.” Now as I eat my dinner in the other room it sounds like a herd of elephants are playing in the bathroom next door. I didn’t think […]
I previously posted reason #s 1, 2, and 3, however, Elena got in the spirit of the movement and posted reason #4. So I am skipping straight to reason #5: generic web design.
