Photo(s) of the Day: Beauty at Powell Gardens

We like to go to Powell Gardens, just east of Kansas City, about once a year. They have the most beautiful seasonal gardens around.

Check out last year’s photos, too.

Photos of the Day: A Day at the Zoo

Many of my facebook friends have seen these photos, but my blog friends have not. It’s funny how things change once you’re a parent. For my birthday this year, we spent a day at the zoo!

The Kansas City Zoo has a great new penguin exhibit.
Elephants are one of my favorites, because they are so smart! We watched this one paint a piece of art.
I was given the once-over by this guy.
