Guinea Pig Land!






The top picture is of Shireen Muamar, the youngest of the Sproule babies. Is she not perfection in 4-month-old form? I had all the Sproule girls and their babies (3 generations in one room) over for coffee this morning and we had a nice visit. Then Kay invited me to the farm for lunch and Rachel invited me to the zoo for the afternoon and how could I say no to either invitation, honestly?
What a lovely, lovely day. I took Gramma to the airport on Tuesday morning so she could fly to Toronto, and I've missed her but been fine ever since. Today was the perfect cap-off to a 3 day-off span from work and I couldn't have had a nicer time.
The 2nd picture is of the Guinea Pig display at Edmonton's Storyland Valley Zoo. I love that Edmonton's idea of a zoo display involves Guinea Pigs. The baby ones were definitely cute, though.
The third picture is of Isaac Pottinger, Rachel's son and the 2nd youngest of the Sproule babies. He's often very frowny around strangers, but by the time we got in the car to go home he was smiling and laughing and having a grand old time.
The last picture is of Joanna Pottinger, Isaac's older sister and the oldest of the Sproule babies, sitting on my shoulders watching the Elephant information session. Don't you love her sunglasses? A birthday gift from Gramma and I.
Anyways, I'm a little sunburned so I have to go relax (any excuse :D) but I'll post again tomorrow.

You loved the zoo when you were that age too.
