Thankful for family.

Hello friends. Sorry I took a couple of days break from the blog. We had an awesome guest in town for the weekend and we were pretty busy!

My stepson Joey, who is working his tail off at a college in Manhattan AND doing an amazing internship too (!!), came down to enjoy some Florida sunshine for a few days. It was a great visit with him. BB and CC adore their big brother and couldnt get enough of playing with him or holding his hand. Watching the kids together was so sweet- totally the highlight of the weekend. Its always awesome to see your kids bonding with other members of your family.

I also had the great pleasure of spending some more quality time with Joey on Cheetah Hunt-- the newest rollercoaster at Busch Gardens, Tampa Bay. Yikes! Its official, I am too old for that take you really high up, really fast, then drop you down to the ground, even faster nonsense. About a third of the way through the ride I said to Joey, as calmly as you can while travelling at a million miles an hour, "Joey, I dont think I like this!?" as if he was going to be able to do anything about it. LOL! It was a great visit for everyone and we are all hoping that Joey comes back to visit us again very, very soon. In fact, the plans are already in the works for his next adventure down to Tampa. Yay!

Here is a picture of the kids by the Myombe Reserve where you can see chimps and gorillas in very cool habitats! Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Did everyone remember to turn their clocks back? We did.
