Nice Weather Weekend

Since not a lot had been going on at the house, and we had a beautiful weekend with record-breaking temperatures, I'll post a couple of pics or the nice weekend.

Saturday was a rare Winter day with no clouds and no wind. This means it's an ideal day to burn some of the trees and wood debris left over from clearing the land for building. Particularly at my neighbor's where a lot of trees were removed and put in big piles between our properties. Living with a firefighter provides an opportunity to quickly call in for a burn permit and safely light up some piles of wood!





With so much dirt surrounding the piles, no grass and no wind, it was just a matter of watching everything burn and drinking lots of water!

Sunday was the record-breaking temp day so we went to the zoo! Lots of animals were out playing in the sunshine, and all of the big cats, gorillas, and especially bears were all out playing. We got some pics of the grizzlies, giraffes, and a curious ostrich.





And of course the pic we always take of Vivi on the komodo dragon (and carousel when it's running).
