Fire & Police Safety Week

Joel has had a great time at school this week as they learned about Firefighters, fire safety and police officers. They made firemen's hats one day. Here is a pic of Joel wearing his hat.

Louisiana Purchase Zoo

Today Barry, Joel and I went to the Zoo. This trip was much less uneventful from the attempt to visit the Audubon Zoo. The weather was beautiful (especially compared to the horrible weather we have had from Gustav).

Anyway, here are some of the better pics.


Monkey boys


Joel enjoying an exhibit


He is such a big boy!




The best sign ever..apparently someone thought so and their attempt to take it home was botched. They could have at least glued the corner back up..


One of my favorite pictures of Joel ever...I have a zillion favorites though..

Some flowers
