i heart zoos

Posted on May 19, 2010 by Andi

I love zoos. Not just a little bit. But more like one of those kids that needs to have a leash attached to them so I don't wander off or so you can pull me along when I won't stop staring at the bats. (Sadly, both of these things have happened.)

So when we went to Florida for Christmas this past year, I knew I wanted to fit a trip to the zoo in.

One of my favorite things at this zoo is the monkey exhibit. They have this huge cage and you can walk under part of it. And these monkeys like to sit on the part you walk under. So I got this cute picture of one of them.

This one actually had a baby holding on to it. Which is what I was trying to get a picture of. Animals don't always cooperate for photo opportunities the way you want them to, though.

This was a really nice zoo. I haven't found a zoo I haven't liked yet, but I am sure there are some out there that aren't as good.

Here is a link to the gallery of photos I took when I was there.

Also, I realized I didn't post the pictures from this same zoo when we were there about a year ago. So here is the gallery of photos I took on that trip. 🙂

I have pictures to share from our trip to Seattle in January, too…of course a trip to the zoo was made there, too!

And who goes to Washing DC and has to see the zoo? Yeah. That would be me!

And Lord knows I love the Omaha zoo.

And I can't believe I haven't gotten myself a membership to the MN zoo yet considering we are so close to it. I could probably add a whole section on this site about the zoos I have been to. But I won't. For your sanity of course.

See…I told you I liked zoos.

chili beef tips and southwest potatoes

Posted on May 18, 2010 by Andi

Here's another Let's Dish meal that I made recently. You could put the potatoes in the oven which took quite some time, or take the faster microwave method. I chose the faster one. I don't like waiting for my food! The beef didn't take more than about 10 minutes to cook up on the stove. This was a very fast meal to whip together!

This was a really tasty meal. The chili beef tips were very flavorful and the southwest potatoes had the right amount of yummy southwest flavor.

I have one more of these meals in the freezer and I know I won't let it sit around too long before I make it again!
