Visiting Nicole

We took the weekend off from gardening and jobs around the house to visit Nicole and Shawn in Northeastern Ohio where the live. The company they work for was having a family picnic for their employees and their families at the Cleveland Zoo. We drove about two hours and Nicole and Shawn live about 30 Minutes away from the zoo. They had a picnic buffet for the families and it was wonderful. It was so nice to spend time with Nicole and Shawn.

At the picnic area
The Cleveland Zoo has a Rain Forest the was awesome. I think the Rain Forest was every ones favorite place.

The trip to the zoo was so much fun and after the zoo we went back to Nicole's apartment and went out to dinner with them. We got home very late that night and on Sunday we went to the movies to watch the Dark Knight

J. T. has loved Batman since he was 2 years old and he still does he has gone a year or two without getting any of his batman gear out and then the commercials for the new Batman movie started on tv and away he went to change into batman once again. I thought he had outgrown all that stuff but I'm kind of glad he hasn't. I had to snap a picture because it might be the last time he wears it .

Have a great day
