a cold day…

oooooh there is such a nip in the air…. that fresh so clean breath that you get when you step out the door maybe in a land far from Florida…. it’s so refreshing and gets a little kick in my step.

We decided to head to Busch Gardens this weekend…. something we promised our girls… even though we promised them when it was warm out and the plan seemed just dreamy… well… to our surprise the weekend had a little unexpected plan for our chilly buns! We stuck with our promise as we always do and bundled up and packed some hats and gloves and off away we went to Tampa!!!

something about giraffes that really make me smile… I love their spots and I especially love their little wiggly ears… I love how long their necks are and how clumsie they seem to cleverly be…

the rino and the baby rino really stood out… to me and Mattias both! We can’t believe just how similar the mamma and baby are… so husky and strong the baby seems to be… it’s adorable!
We really loved the safari ride… even though the winds got us cuddling so tight we could barely see the animals… but we peeked our eyes out to catch some glimpses and little Isabelle found herself buried inside of my wind jacket… sweet to have her so close every once in awhile even if she is always on the gooooooooo…..

can’t wait to go back when the breezes are a little bit warmer…..
