African Lion Safari

R and I went to watch the 4 youngest who either couldn't remember from the last time we went, or had never been here before. 

The reserves:

Damaris "enjoyed" his hair. :D

This is supposed to be a cheetah, but unfortunately, it is hard to see.

The rangers keep particularly close watch by the lions.

As if this needs to be said.

The baboon on top of our car. They chose our car over all the other ones.

The guy with the stick to make sure the apes stay within their bounds and don't hitch a free ride on any vehicle.

Damaris saw the loooooong head, and then the ostrich reached down to grab a bite, so Damaris said, "Look! It's broken!"

It got rather hot with the windows closed.

Enjoying the time outdoors at Judo.

Just on the verge of sharing her thoughts. :)

Ya gotta love the play structures displayed at Costco!

The "snowball flower" from the "snowball tree"

(I don't know the actual name for it)

A little on the grumpy side.

"Dinosaur hair" I like to call it (it looks a little like a stegosaurus, don't you think?).

She's definitely not an exception to the rule; as a kitten, she loves to play!



Rain one hot humid Sunday.

Sunset at the lights.

Leaving for R's graduation ceremony.

Waiting for R to get her "official" degree paper.

Crossing the Burlington Skyway.

Can you see Toronto?

Can you spot the CN Tower (tell me if you can, because I cannot)?

A Wonderful Day with Friends

Missing a few siblings, though.

Arranging.

Thames River.

It is unfortunate that people feel the need to litter along the banks.

He should enter a flexibility contest!

Little children are fascinated by the simplest things.

He didn't want to let go of the hose - future fireman perhaps?

"Tractor (pointing his finger)? Tractor?"

Inching closer...

And closer

To the tractor.

Inspecting the rim.

Testing tire pressure.

Visiting.

Goodbye.

R, B.Sc.N.

     It is official. R completed 4 years of university for Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. She will make an excellent nurse, and we are all very happy for her.

Keeping her entertained during the ceremony.

R being presented with the hood. Sorry for the bad quality.
