Isn't it March?

This is not exactly what you want to wake up to on March 2nd!

Notice how high the snow is on the girls' picnic table. And it is still coming down.

Pete doing is favorite thing- shoveling snow!

Can you imagine how ready I am for some warm weather? It has been cold here since October!

At least it warmed up enough last week for the girls and I to drive down to Philly to go the zoo.  I met my friend Becky who moved to Philadelphia from San Antonio. Becky and I met at our church in SA. It is so great to hang out with someone from home!

The Philly zoo was great. I can't wait to go back in the Spring when all the rides are open.

 

The polar bear is on top of the rock.

This turtle was being a little friendly....

and this peacock was looking for someone to be friendly with.

But none of the girl peacocks seemed to be as impressed as we were by his beautiful feathers.

My poor Alli was not too happy that we were going to the zoo without her. She says she doesn't remember all the fun things she got to do before she started going to school five days a week. I am certain that I did more with her!

Here she is working on her piano lesson.
