San Diego Zoo, Snow, and More!

We recently went to Redlands, CA to visit Duane's sister and her family. We had a blast going to the San Diego ZOO (with a discount, yeah!).

If you look really close you can see the panda. It's the same panda that played on "Kung Fu Panda". That whats I told the kids anyway:)

The highlight for me was watching the gorillas. Especially the one that picked it's nose and was eating it's bugers! The girls got to see a close up of a giant gorillas rear end, which was facinating for them. I love the picture of the gorilla holding her baby too.
The day after we got back from CA we went sledding at the gravel pits near Strawberry (eating breakfast at The Strawberry Lodge cafe, a family favorite). We of course had to make a snowWOMAN. Thats what you do when you have all girls!


I also wanted to post a picture of my brothers awsome headstone/bench. As we were driving to the grave in Casa Grande, listening to a church CD, the song I played on my viola at his funeral "I know that my redeemer lives" came on right as we pulled into the gravesite. (now think of the twilight zone theme song in your head)
