Lion and Tigers and Bears! Oh My!










 The Bunch Go On a Field Trip

Safari ready!

Exihibits were very natural.

They are surprisingly soft and gentle.

We had a blast at the Dallas Zoo today. We had never gone before because we had heard that it was not very good in comparison to the Ft Worth Zoo. However, it has been redone and we had a great time. One thing we really liked was that all the viewing walls were very short so it gave the illusion you were closer to the animals and they had several interactions scheduled throughout the day where they brought the animals up close to where you are. They are opening a koala and kangaroo exhibit in March, which will be nice. I loved the set up of all the exhibits. For what they lack in variety and quantity, they more than compensate  for in quality.

Savannah was definitely worth seeing. I had never seen elephants actually have enough room to run, so that was neat to witness. My only complaints were that you can only access the woodlands by buying a train ticket, so we missed that part and that the map does not list the days and hours of the pony rides. The kids had their hearts set on having a pony ride before we left and when we finally went to the barn we found out that there are NO rides on Tuesdays and a small time frame of availability on other days. Overall, we had a great day!

The Bunch Have A Hard Week

This was actually part of T's present. He had been begging D to do it.😂 It only stayed around a short while. After throwing such a fun and memorable birthday party for T at the lake with his basketball buddies, we have decided to part ways with the basketball organization. I cannot get past that evil man being anywhere near us or people I care about. I did make sure to give everyone a fair warning about the evil man and they can now hopefully make an informed decision about their level of involvement with him. I don't think T's too bothered by it. He didn't want to play this year anyways, but I had originally really wanted him to be around his friends. I am not sure what we will do instead, but I know he is happy to NOT have to run. He hates running. I am basically just feeling completely defeated. I trust no one and have a complete LACK of faith in police officers and lawyers. I know my husband is a good officer, but that's about it and the count is on until June ...

The Bunch Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change 🤔

It's official, she has a college diploma!! Besides totally enjoying a drama free year, we have been consciously spending time doing things as a family and spending time with each child doing things they enjoy. D has been playing ball and watching movies with his larger "mini me" while A and I have been spending a lot of time in Dallas going to the theatre. A absolutely loves going to see off Broadway productions! I won't be surprised in the slightest if she ends up getting season tickets. Dallas Broadway does a lottery to each show where if they draw your name you have 3 hours to buy tickets for $39 each including all fees! That is an absolute steal! She actually won the lottery on Tuesday so we went that night to see the production of "& Juliet". The seats she won were FANTASTIC! They don't give you cheap seats in the back for the lottery. You win good seats. The seats we ended up with worked out to be only about a quarter of the regular price! We h...

The Bunch Celebrate T's 16th Birthday

  Three Birthdays in 10 days I cannot believe the baby of the family is 16! Actually, I can't believe they are all as old as they are. C will be 31 this year, A turns 21 tomorrow, L is 18, and little baby T is 16! It has been a wonderful ride and I was very blessed to be able to spend 24/7 with my kids while they were little. I have wonderful memories of all the times we shared. While the last year has been the hardest of our lives, it's been nice to see us all rally together and we have become even more appreciative of each other. T will just randomly stop to hug us and tell us he loves us.🥰 A is so very helpful and thoughtful and C is great about calling and keeping us updated on how they're doing way out in Bonham. I love my kids! We have decided to give pickleball a try as a family. Considering we've never even watched a game, our first lesson should be interesting!  He has gotten so good at guitar! My parents celebrate our birthdays every year by treating us to di...
