Do I dare to say that Spring has finally sprung?  At least it appears that way in our neck of the woods!!IMG_6134

This weekend’s  forecast:  bright sunshine, 70degrees, 0% percent chance of rain, and kid-free for Daddy Buck and I!!

**Lesson Learned:  Don’t state your words in the form of a question, when what you truly meant to say was a statement!**

You know, the old addidge:  I’m not asking you….I’m telling you!!

As I look back through the pictures, I can’t help but ponder the thought that any decent mother photographer wouldn’t ask their children to look at the camera with the sunlight glaring directly in their eyes!  {That’s beside the point, right?!}

up close and personal

This fella had a fantastic {5th} birthday party last Sunday on what turned out to be the first day nice weather (68degrees and not a cloud in the sky, if you must know) that we’ve had in quite some time. 

Harley's 5th Birthday Party2

The highlight of the party was the animal exhibits that allowed the children to pet a boa constrictor snake, a baby alligator, a hedgehog, and a chinchilla and to view, up close and personal, a tarantula!

Harley's 5th Birthday Party1

Following the party, we spent the remainder of the afternoon wandering through the zoo where we were treated to a, {once again} up close and personal, look at the elephants courtesy of the elephants themselves.
