Two Thousand Pounds of Mustard

This morning I went to a story time with Sylvia at the Dusenberry River Branch Library while Luke and Isabel sat at a table there and read.  I am happy to discover that the library is pretty close to us, small and clean (once again, small library = good), and their library online to reserve books is great as well.  Afterward we ran a few errands.  While we were eating our Costco hot dogs, I apologized for "putting a TON of mustard on them."  Isabel said, "Mom, I don't think you put two thousand pounds of mustard on our hot dogs."  Our little Amelia Bedelia, oops, I mean Isabel, thinks it's very funny to take everything literally...sheesh.

Stonehenge in our Backyard

Sunday, Joey and Luke went for a walk and came back with great sights to tell about.  Today we went out with Luke as our guide to find this supposed "Rock Maze" behind our house.  Sure enough...

Mini Stonehenge....ish?

Today I gave Luke our old camera for him to use to help him start a blog about entomology (or maybe just about nature).  I told him that I thought that a picture of this rusty can would make a really neat picture.  He turned up his nose at it since it is so man made, so I said, "Fine, I'll put it up on my blog."  So now here is a pointless picture of an old can.  Enjoy.

Don't worry, I kept a hat on her most of the time and she only got a few scratches on her face from tree branches.  She loved it!  (Don't miss Luke in the background.)

Tucson Zoo

Did you know that Tucson has a zoo?  I sure didn't.  Yesterday Joey had work off (every other Friday off!) and we took a tour.  The Reid Park Zoo is a relatively small zoo (small zoo = good).  All of the cages and enclosures are clean and very nice for the animals and all of the pathways are thought out and shady.  It took us around two hours to see everything but we could have stayed longer.  I forgot the camera so here is a picture of the map.
