So, this weekend, in an atempt to get away from the snow, we went to the Zoo. This is Eric's first trip to the zoo and he LOVED it. Well, until he got tired and fussy. Although, I have to admit, I think Tony and I enjoyed it more than Eric. It was really good weather, not too hot, and we left right before it started raining. Tony was most excited to see the elephants and I really wanted to see the giraffs. It was a great vacation and I really can't wait to go again. We ended up staying in a cabin and then going gem hunting the next day, which was a blast. I found a whole bunch of nice tourmalines, quartz, and some small garnets. I'm going to try to get a few of them faceted. But, now we're back up in Big Bear and the storm is coming in. Might get up to 4 feet, not looking forward to it. Of course, my first winter back up here it has to be the worst winter in like 30 years. I guess it gives me something to look forward to next winter. :)
