Avril and her animals






Both of the kids love animals, but Avril is definitely the one with the passion for them. She's funny though, she prefers the off the wall ones like ostrichs and guinea pigs while Alex goes more for cats and dogs. Anyway, the last few days have given her a great opportunity to mingle with a few different species. At Tater Day she couldn't get enough of the ducks and bunnies and had to ride the ponies. And today we set up a small aquarium. Happy early birthday to me! I've got a few cute pictures from our trip to the zoo too, I'll post those later. Tater Day this year was an odd experience. It was nice to have Ronnie in, even though we didn't get to see much of her because of the zoo trip. Sunday afternoon we had to dodge tornadoes and high winds - hence the picture of the tent on its side. We were attacked by a flipping tent at one point, and let me tell you, there is nothing quite like peeing in a porta-potty that is being rocked in the wind! Then on Monday, it was snowing and sleeting and raining, so it was pretty much just a mess. Half the vendors left after the tornado experience so there really wasn't a whole lot to see by Monday anyway.
