zoo day

Last Tuesday, July 6th, Haven and I were fortunate to head to the Peoria Zoo with two very special people, Rich & "Aunt" Vicki. Rich is our, well, I guess now only Arlan's dept. chair at PCHS and Vicki is one of our angels who took care of Haven this past Spring when I went back to teach. They are dear friends of ours & although we picked a steamy July day (hey, it was FREE zoo day!), it was great fun to see Haven interact with not only the animals but also with our dear friends. Thanks Schurters-we had a great time!

[side note: yes, in both pictures Haven only has one of her jellies on...note to self: for future occasions in public, when one shoe falls off & you throw it in her bag, just take the other one off as well because EVERY concerned parent will stop you to let you know your child is missing a shoe-endearing yes, but after a while, a little annoying!]
