It’s been so beautiful, sunny, and warm here and is forecasted to be so for the entire long-term forecast – except for today. Today it’s cool and rainy and the boys are on a field trip to the zoo. Have fun, guys! This brings to mind the last field trip to the zoo, when Mark […]
Nicole’s Favourite Things: Here Comes The Sun Edition
