The kids complained when they heard we were going to Como Zoo without them. So when we picked them up, Kirsten and I dragged them to the city to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. They were not all that enthusiastic. I never knew this was a fountain. Water sprays out of the cherry stem and courses

She drove, with her friends, from Florida to spend the weekend with us and meet this little peanut. These two came along too, and they love Wisconsin. The little brown one chased balls in the lake until she was shivering cold. The brindle guy smelled everything and escaped for a romp through the lily pads
