Thanksgiving Day 2011

Your first Thanksgiving Day was one of the warmest on record. The late fall sun was shining bright as we spent the day enjoying our time together. Grandpa and Linus accompanied us to Acorn Park for a few trips down the slide and some time in the swing. Grandma Jan joined us in the afternoon for playtime and Thanksgiving dinner. Janma and Grandpa's meal was delicious! Janma made you a special applesauce lime jello concoction. You also tried a few bites of potatoes and cranberries. Grandpa and Janma's celebration was perfect. We could not be more grateful for their love and generosity.

We are thankful for a happy, healthy Delaney. Today was our best Thanksgiving ever because of you!

The Como Zoo

We took advantage of this warm and sunny November day with a trip to the Como Zoo. You finally had the opportunity to see some of the animals we read about in your books. We greeted a couple of friendly giraffes and cautiously observed a lion and tiger at rest. We watched the polar bears swim and dive in their pool and the ostrich preen around her pen. And we had our last little taste of summer as we meandered through rainforest exhibit on this eleventh day of the eleventh month of 2011. Thanks Como Zoo for the fun day - we'll be back.

Delaney, Delaney what do you see?

That's not the sound of a tiger.

So you don't want to support the polar bears?

Don't go summer sun!
