The Toronto Zoo

We had a great time visiting the Toronto Zoo. It was a long and very tiring day but worthwhile. The morning was cool but the afternoon was nice but not too hot. We did a lot of walking! Eli loved the flamingos.
The sea turtles were fun to watch.

Aidan loved seeing the different types of frogs.

The blue poison arrow frog if I remember correctly.

This and That

I know it's been a while since I've posted. These are pictures from our time in PA. They are in descending chronological order. So, this is me beginning my 22nd week of pregnancy. If you haven't heard the ultrasound says that we're having a boy. A family shot, with a bit of pete's head chopped off!:)

It might be a bit hard to see but these are some luscious blackberries we found on a walk near my dads cabin.

The morning we left St. Thomas for PA.

Our days in pictures

Here's Aidan on a climbing wall at a local park. Both the kids are loving the availability of parks to play at.
A fun hammock style swing.

We were given some bikes for the kids. This was their first ride. Aidan's bike is a tad short and Eli's is a tad big but they love them!

The neighbors water pond, the water lilies and hyacinths are beautiful.

We're living at Pete's parents. The kids having been in the pool almost every day.

Aidan likes to jump in.

More pool fun.

Elianna hurt her foot so Nanny got her an ice pack.

Pete's parents have some beautiful flower gardens.

some climbing roses

A beautiful lily.

Daisies... they're so pretty.

From Canada

We're back! Our trip went really well. Of course it was long and tiring but smooth. We've been back about 4 days now. We're feeling pretty good. Here's some pictures of our trip and the last few days before we left. Pete and Aidan claiming our luggage in Toronto. Long airplane rides...
In the Conakry airport. Once we boarded our flight was delayed a while because of heavy rains. When we opened our soft sided luggage in Canada we had a number of wet clothes etc.

Omelets that we enjoy eating in Conakry. Delicious eggs on a nice soft bread.

This is how the omelets come wrapped. You buy them from a small 'restaurant' on the street.

Usually they are just wrapped in plain paper or old receipts etc. This time ours came wrapped in a National Geographic written in English.

One of the last things Pete did before we lefts was to unhook our batteries, solar panels and the fuse box etc. Here is the empty power corner!

Our luggage packed before we left Hamdallaye for Conakry.
