Weekend Walk

This past weekend it was a nice sunny day. Something that's rare around these parts. Since it was so sunny and beautiful we decided we would go for a walk and we knew there was a walking trail by Ariana's preschool. 

What started off as a walk in the woods (so we thought) quickly became an actual recreational park with a playground, lake, and restaurant. Apparently we walked from Makenbach village to Ramstein village and stumbled upon a fun area for future picnics and day outings!

We saw wild ducks, turtles and even some tadpoles and fish in the lake. Of course all the flowers are in bloom now and it was great to get out and have some quality family time in the sunshine.

Photo Walk: Florida Neighborhood

While we were visiting family in Florida we stayed pretty busy. On occasion I found myself with some alone time. One of those times I took my camera out for a walk around my mom's neighborhood. Completely different than my last photo walk in Germany. Lots of palm trees and tropical plants.

Lizard on a flamingo.

 Shuffleboard anyone?

Loved these reflections in the pool.

 Beautiful sunsets.

Miami Zoo - Feeding Giraffes!

When we were in Florida my husband and I took Ariana to the Miami Zoo one day. Being there made us miss living a few minutes away from the Omaha Zoo. Our favorite part of the day was feeding Ariana's favorite animal, the giraffe! Yep, that's right, we hand fed giraffes! It was so awesome to be so up close and personal with these majestic animals! I know zoo photos can get boring if you aren't there in person so I'm going to try to limit the photos in this post to my favorites.

I'm kind of in love with this frog one I snapped!

Coolest lizard ever and he was such a ham, posing for me!

Ariana loved getting to feed the birds in the aviary.

I feel like she's saying "what are you looking at?!" Nice hairdo and makeup!

Check out that long purple tongue!

My favorite shot was of Ariana and the giraffe posing. I swear it's like they bonded and she wanted to be in the photo too. They were so cute!
