San Diego Zoo

One of our favorite places to go now (thanks to Mom and Dad) is the San Diego Zoo. It is an amazing place and is world renowned. I've included some pictures of the friends we have made there. Our favorite exhibit is the Siamangs and Orangutans. There is a little family of Siamangs and a family of Orangutans that share an exhibit. The zoo keepers put up posters with all of their pictures, names and personalities. We have gotten to know them by name and can recognize them by just looking at them. They are so funny to watch because they are always up to something. The black picture, if you look closely, shows a baby siamang nursing from its mom. She is only 6 weeks old. It is crazy to watch her cling to her mom's tummy while her mom swings from the trees.

Life in San Diego is great. Sometimes I can't believe we live here. Yesterday it was about 83 degrees. We barbecued at a nearby park with some friends and then made homeade strawberry icecream. It's pretty nice! We have an extra room if anyone needs a getaway. Matt is enjoying learning about the heart and kidney, although he is extremely busy. I started my new job and am enjoying higher pay and benefits. It is really busy but so far I'm liking it. Hope everyone is doing well!

Gabi's Dramatic Talent

Gabi tried out for the Missoula Children's Theater production of The Little Mermaid last week and she made it! She tried out on Monday with 200 other children, ages 5-18, and a cast of 60 was chosen to perform. They are chosen on Monday, practice Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and then perform 2 shows on Saturday. She was a sea pony and enjoyed every minute of it. We are all a little exhausted (especially Gabi), but it was worth it. Way to go Gabi!
