My SIL and I took Simon and Lilah to the zoo. We went with 2 of our cousins and their kids. There were 8 children in total!! It was a great day, and everyone was (believe it or not) super well behaved. The kids loved it!
Simon's favorite part was feeding the gophers of all things. ha! It was so fun to watch them chase the gophers around... and then to see the gophers chase them around, vice versa. :P
It was fun for me to see the animals too. My highlight was seeing an African lion, and hearing it's roar! I want to go again this summer yet...Wanna know my new obsession!? Iced coffee! Well it's not totally a new obsession... I've been a regular customer at our local Tim Hortons, but this!!...
It's brilliant. I can make it at home, save money, quit always bugging Ryan to bring me one on his way home from work... and it tastes so good. I enjoyed some this afternoon while Simon played in his lil pool on our deck. :)
**Tip: it's super strong if you use the entire packette for one beverage, so I only use half. Then I get twice as many, even better! ;)

I love this entire outfit, especially the color of that bag!
The cutest rain coat ever!
I've found myself being inspired by fashion lately, that and these images of Aveda salons:

I am obsessed with iced coffee, too... and as there is no starbucks even close around here, I have to stick with the homemade stuff as well - which is not the worst option, right?!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time at the zoo! And I'm a huge iced coffee person, this summer especially it's been a lifesaver.
ReplyDeletei love my iced coffee! i have to have one before work everyday...ive been inspired byb art journals, vintage kitchenware (a little weird i know), and thrift market/flea market/diy decor.
ReplyDeleteha ha - I'm drinking Via iced coffee right now! :) I'm inspired by thunderstorms, vintage velvet couches, and Marimeko prints.
ReplyDeleteThat iced coffee is so good!! I have given up dairy for nursing and have been mixing it with half water half vanilla almond milk - OH YUM!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness. I love the Winnipeg zoo. Last time I was there, they had the White Tigers, and I took my grandma :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya on the new Iced VIA. It is YUM!
ReplyDeletezoos are always so much fun! i love hearing the lions roar when we're at the baltimore zoo. :) and omg! looove orla!
ReplyDelete<3katie
ooh i loove those orla outfits! i am obsessed with dresses with huge pleats, that bow dress is so cute!
ReplyDeleteDear Holly, Orla Kiely is fantastic. I named my daughter after her, well Orla is a lovely name too, (I just keep quiet about her being named after my favorite handbag designer).
ReplyDeleteWith a 2 and 3 year old we are big zoo fans! We recently moved to Berlin where Health and Safety hasn't yet hit. You can get SO close to the animals and the Germans even put their hands in the water and stroke the penguins! Filthy, dirty, good old FUN!!!
you need to post more posts so your bored sister has more to read when she is sitting at home alone, lol
ReplyDeleteby the way, i read this post, and it made me want an iced coffee so bad that i made lucas go out so we could get iced coffees haha
I can't get enough of the iced coffee from tim hortons. My only complaint would be that they are too sweet, i usually just drink 3/4 of it, cause the bottom is too sugary.
Naww i wish we had Gophers over here! They look sooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteoh gosh, loving all of those clothes you posted! *swoon*
