The Myers and Painting



Yesterday Kai and I were invited to go to the zoo with our friends the Myers (minus Lance and their Dad who were at work). Their little girl Elsa is the one I watched while we were living in London. It is amazing to see how much she has grown up. She still has such a special place in my heart. She also has a brother now named Carter. We got season passes to the zoo a couple of weeks ago and have since been averaging about 1 trip a week. It is about 7 minutes from our house, it is clean, and it is a perfect size for us right now- big enough to have most of your major animals and cool exhibits, but small enough that it isn't overwhelming.

In other news we took on the adventure of painting/ touching up our garage this weekend. Last night we did a lot of scraping as you can see quite clearly in the first picture. The other picture was taken this morning after the first coat. We've still got some more work to do on it, but it already is looking much better. It is best to look at a distance though since it has seen many coats of uneven paint through the years.

That girl is precious! So they were only living in London temporarily as well? How ironic that her and Kai would end up being friends.
I'm super jealous about your small and close zoo!
And nice work on the garage! It must also be organized considering that a car fits in it (why does it seem like every garage in CA can only hold half the number of cars it is built for?).
