Wonder woman

I've been thinking about Mom a lot lately, for obvious reasons. One thought that keeps popping into my mind is: "Mom raised 8 kids"...8 KIDS!!!! That's amazing - she was amazing!! I don't think I could do that. And so, for all of the times I didn't appreciate her, I am sorry. And for all the times that we thought she was driving us crazy...I completely understand!

We miss you, Gogo in the sky with diamonds!

Everland

We made, what seems to be becoming our annual trip to Everald, in August during our holidays...We love it, and it is definitely a trip we look forward to!

For fear of repeating the same photo post  for the third time, I've just uploaded some of the new exciting things we saw...

Monkey Valley:
 

This rafiki was a real poser



Happy, adorable family from China



This bunch reminded me of my family...

And this guy was just plain lazy

My very own little monkey ;)

Stella doing what she loves best

This time, we went in the evening because there are lots of fun things to see at night too, like the fantasy parade:

The Madagascar lantern exhibit:

And fireworks. Although by this stage of the night Stella was exhausted, and the noise all but freaked her out!

We are living really close to Everland now, so I suspect we may be there a few more times before the year is out...
