Our life in pictures...

Every couple days/weeks, I see that I have a bunch of new pictures that I really should share with you guys, but it is just so much work to upload pictures! It takes me at least an hour to put together a post like this, so guys, you'd better look at these pictures and you'd better like them. Otherwise...well, you can just kiss these picture posts goodbye! : )

Haha. Behold, our past week...

Canadian thanksgiving. It looked more like a Canada Day celebration until we looked at our plates! Chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, jello, buns, salad, stuffing, and pumpkin & apple pie for dessert! Mmm...court monthly potluck #2.

We have been in the process of changing our Manitoba plates to California ones since we got here. Nathan finally got his license (I say finally not because he failed so much, but because it takes about a month to get a road test appointment here!) and then we got a smog check and on Tuesday we got our plates. It was raining (first day of rain since we got here!) when we got them, though, so we put them on just this morning. One last look at our Manitoban car...
Here come the California plates...
And voila! If you look closely, you can see that we now have a Californian car! We can't wait to visit Canada with these plates!

A bunch of us court dwellers went to the zoo on Saturday. My favorite animals were the lemurs. They were so bouncy and energetic. They liked to show off for people too...at one point while we were watching, three of them got in a fight! So funny!

Some of the people we went with...M, H, A, S, D...(E and S not in picture)
We adults all had a good laugh when we saw the kangaroos...see why? They were all just laying there like that!
S definitely got pooped on by a bird. He says he heard the "splat" and everything. Crazy birds...you'd think zoo birds would be trained a bit better than that!
The giraffes were pretty cute as well...this one was smaller than the other two. A bit younger it looked like. It came closer to the people, too, than the other ones. Our discussion had something to do with God's sense of humour when he created giraffes. What made him decide to make them look like that? Spotted fur? Pretty cool, but still...
