Butterfly World

Since Nora's on school holiday, today we went to Butterfly World, which was a big hit. Very cool. Tons of butterflies, and birds, reptiles, fish, marmosets, and a duiker! Nora's favorites were the guppies with pink and purple tails, and the butterflies.
A butterfly had just flown a little too close for Nora's comfort in the third photo below - it took her a little bit to be comfortable with them.

Playing together nicely

Pickin Strawbs

Nothing says Christmas time like strawberry picking... We are trading egg nog for daiquiris this year!

To all the grandparents

Today was grandparents day at school. Sorry we're too far away for any of you to have attended. :( All the grandparents got a little flower in a hand painted pot and a card. So here they are virtually. Thanks for all that you do!

Turkey day!!!!

My goodness these ladies cooked up an amazing turkey day dinner. Complete with a USA cake. First outdoor thanksgiving for some in the perfect spring/summer weather. Sooo good. Happy thanksgiving to the Americans!

I put a little braid in Nora's hair

It makes her look like such a big girl. Also, we're celebrating thanksgiving tonight with some friends. Nora says she's thankful for ice cream, Boboo (Ivan), pajama pants, and peanut butter-jellys.

Wine tasting

This winery had a beautiful tree full of purple flowers that were starting to fall! Nora was psyched.
