On Monday, we decided to take advantage of the holiday, and spend the afternoon at the Oakland zoo. We had a great time! The weather was a little chilly, but the sun was shining and we hardly noticed the cold. Talen informed us that his favorite animal was the elephants and from the moment we stepped into the zoo, he would not let us forget:) It was a good thing this zoo had elephants or we would have had one sad little boy! Mason loved the sun bears - they were pretty cute and cuddly. And I suppose kinda like his bear at home. It was fun to see the excitement on their faces with every new animal, esppecially Talen, who can finally say all their names. A fun day we will for sure remember.
Our present life
We are currently living in Manteca, California away from the cold winters of Chicago. We moved to California almost 4 years ago and started this blog in an attempt to keep in touch with our family and friends in Chicago or elsewhere. We miss everyone from the midwest but we love those who have become part of our life in California. Kevin is a teacher at Ripon Christian High. He also coaches girls volleyball and soccer and stays busy playing the sports he loves as well. Janey is a nurse 2 days a week and a mom the rest. She works at DMC on the pediatrics floor. Mason (5) and Talen (2) are growing daily and loving life! Enjoy our blog and follow us if you like!
