Man,so sorry I'm late....Hehe, I see you guys made it there yesterday. Beautiful weather for it! Wonderful wide angle shot John! Really love how you composed it! Love the light on the 'corn cobs' towers! Gosh, just heart that green so much! What a fun experience for your family it must be...Huge congrats on explore John!

The girls and I drove passing by there Friday on our way to water tower...hehe...

Hope you guys had fun at the zoo! More photos to share with us I hope? :P

I was so exhausted yesterday. Went to bed around 8pm. ( So unlike me...) It was not fun working at that place for straight 4 hours in such an early morning ( after only 3 hours sleep the previous night) Besides that place had no heat and I was sitting right by the open entrance so I was freezing my butt off and I felt I was really getting so sick..ugh.... The girls had so much fun at the b-day party though in the afternoon...So It was a super long day for me....
Heading to Chinese school soon and hope you and your family enjoy the beautiful Sunshine out there. xox
