Dreaming of early retirement & travel
We took the girls to the Detroit Zoo today. When they were younger, this was their favorite day. They still loved it. We have not been in two years and we see a lot of changes, including the tiger exhibit.
Butterfly house at the Detroit Zoo.
Since our daughters are in college now, we know we get less and less of these fun days with them, so just enjoying this time together.
Prosperity, yep, we for sure watch that show. I watched it with them, because I was a stay at home mommy way back then. Remember how he bounced on his tail, I dont think they do that, but who knows …

Bug buddy, you should, there was practically no one there and all the animals were frisky. We decided this is our new favorite time to go.

Our kids loved the Toronto Zoo when they were young and this summer we took our grandson. He loved it so the tradition is continuing. It is nice to spend time with our kids who are now adults. Our son lives in England and has a job that involves a lot of travel. But lucky for us he has a job that pays well enough for him to come and visit us! Our daughter lives only 2 hours away so that is nice.
Anne, we do enjoy hanging out with the kids for sure, especially since we know they are older and enjoying there own lives now. The zoo has always been our favorite. Were sure you miss your son so much, our oldest is in the air force and is gone all the time. From parent to parent.
Yes it is a tough separation. Our son is now on a project in Serbia. But will be back and forth to London where he lives. My daughter is married to a very nice man who is in the Canadain air force . He has done active service in Afghanistan but now is involved with teaching engineering training for the big planes. He took that direction so he could be home with his family. Parent of the next generation.
Huh, Peregrine means traveler, so the Peregrine falcon, is traveler falcon…. Learned something new and fun!

The best part was – you could see them crawling out, then they release them everyday into the room!

That’s cool I used to collect caterpillar and make them cocoon and wait till butterflies come out, and I used collect grasshoppers when I was little. Lmao! Recently when I went to Guam I caught a few and chased my kids around with it. They were so scared, but it was super funny.
Yep, see, we never did that, so we missed out, but I guess they are doing it here too….
