It's a Jungle Out There!

 We took Norah to the Wildlife Safari in Roseburg to get an up close and personal look at some of her favorite animals.  It's a drive through zoo where the animals co-mingle over sprawling acreage that allows them ample freedom.  The lions and tigers and bears all have separate habitats, but they are equally spacious, and they have one of the best cheetah breeding programs in captivity (we didn't get to see the baby cheetahs though... maybe next time!)  Norah just loved getting up close and personal with the animals.  She also loved sitting in the front seat and pushing buttons, locking and unlocking the doors and rolling the windows up and down.  It was a great day!

I really wanted to crop Greg's face into the zebra... 
alas I am not that computer savvy... or patient, 
so just use your imagination!

 The Giraffes were Norah's favorite

After the zoo we played a round at Whistler's Bend.  
It was beautiful as always!

Beach Bummin

Norah and I took a day and escaped to the coast to get a dose of the fresh ocean air!  It was a perfect day and a much needed escape!

The Hobit Trail is just the right size!

It's nice to be in the wide open spaces!

A great place to make a splash!

Top Speed... at all times!

To the Top!

Wait a minute... these aren't rain boots?!?

Too late now!

Oseen!

Look at that mess of redness!

Norah is good at self taken photos... somehow it's the only time she sits still and looks at the camera!

So we had to take two!

A bountiful beachcomber!

It was a good day to learn about our shadows!
