Hang in There Little Buddy.

Our poor boy Elvis is quite sick. We don't know what happened, but he's been really under the weather lately and has been showing some unusual, not so happy behavior. So Evan and Eliana came to the Vet with us today and waited patiently to see the doctor. Elvis had X-rays and blood work done, but we wont know the results until tomorrow, (Sunday.) We're hoping for the best, but Elvis still seemed rather sick when we got him home. We're hoping and praying for good news tomorrow. Keep our little Elvis in your thoughts and prayers.

Cape May Zoo

The regal Bald Eagles totally unimpressed by our presence.

Nana & Poppop!

I don't know what animal they saw here, but, maybe we don't want to know...

Rare Snow Leopard pup!

Evan tries his hand at iPhone photography.

Eliana greets the Tiger.

Brave Little Girl

Here she is! Our brave little girl going in the ocean on the last day of our vacation. She used to be afraid to even let her toes touch the incoming waves, now she LOVES going in the ocean. Who knew? She just decided by herself that she wanted to go further and further in. She was being so brave and had such a good time doing it!

Look how much fun she's having!

Playin' in the Park

Evan and Eliana "getting some exercise" as Evan said, in the park yesterday. The park has a little hill that they like running down. They run all the way across the field and back. My hope is that they'll wear themselves out and not fight me at bedtime!

Just Peachy

Evan making his way up the peach tree.

Eliana tries one of the peaches right off the tree. They weren't crazy about the skin, but they sure were sweet inside!

Look at Eliana's face in this photo. I zoomed in on it below...

Now that's the face of sheer determination as she tries to climb up the tree.

Highland Orchards

Getting back to the day we went to Highland Orchards. It really was a fun day, although extremely humid and buggy. Picking blueberries and blackberries right off of the bush was a first for all of us.
I think it was great for the kids to see where their fruits and veggies come from. After a little picnic, and some fun feeding the goats, we drove up to pick peaches off the tree. Evan loved climbing up the tree and plucking out peaches. It was easy for him since the branches were so low.

Only the dark ones are ripe for picking...
