Zuma Beach, Malibu

Nature boy

I always try to give Myles some new thing to look at - a leaf, a flower, or something else with color and texture that he hasn't seen before. A few days last week we walked to the park. Myles loves the swings and the slide. And he's already making friends with all the little girls in the sandbox... uh oh

Monkey see, monkey do

During the last bit our time off during the holidays, we took Myles to the LA Zoo. He loved petting a fuzzy black bunny, enjoyed the monkeys and especially the Tapirs - such a strange looking animal! The most fun, however, were the giraffes - he was totally fascinated. Aside from the animals in the zoo, the people were of equal interest. Tourists are such a strange breed. :) By the time we hit the Gerenuks, Myles was passed out cold, which gave John some time to do a bit of sketching.

1 Year!

Happy Holidays... til the big red guy shows up.

Dream of the Boo Turtles

We visited the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago last week. The penguins exhibit unfortunately was closed but there were a few turtles in action!
