Last weekend was a relatively relaxed weekend, sandwiched between some very busy weeks of work, and we continue to plan for our upcoming trip to Hawaii. I even picked up a waterproof camera (the Canon PowerShot D10, waterproof to 33 ft! Pretty happy with the test shots so far).
This past weekend (starting Thursday) we had some of Kelly’s family in town (her Father and his new ladyfriend who stayed at a nearby hotel, and an Aunt and Cousin who stayed with us). As a result, it was a hectic few days, not only disrupting our usual routines, but also trying to keep them all entertained while here.
Today, after the family left, we went to the Oregon Zoo for my work’s summer (or end of summer) picnic. I hadn’t been to the zoo in many years, and had a pretty fun time wandering around seeing all the animals. The highlights for me were seeing Samudra (the baby elephant), and the big cats (lions and cheetahs) at the Predators of the Sarengeti exhibit. Also, the company picnic was good fun, had a nice late-lunch/early dinner, a beer, and a chat with coworkers before Kelly and I continued our tour of the Zoo.
