Today Jeff suggested we spend the day down in Miami and go to the Parrot Jungle Island, which we've always said we wanted to do but never have - so we did! Not only was it on his Roadside America application as a fun place to visit, but there was another obscure attraction nearby at Bayside park, so we got to mark off two places in one day! Jungle Island was a little zoo focused on birds and we saw some other cool animals - like a LIGER for example (horrible that I didn't get a picture of it but there just wasn't a close enough view), and then there is a petting zoo, an Everglades walkway, snakes, and some hilarious shows. Afterwards, we went to Bayside to walk around the shops, look at Biscayne Bay, and found the Mother of Miami statue and some cool driftwood to take pictures beside. Such a fun random family day together.
Also - some of you may notice the first time blog appearance of Boots - the monkey from Dora the Explorer. I got it for her when she had a sick day this week to make her feel happy b/c they have been watching Dora at school a lot and I think it might be her next obsession. Don't get worried though, folks - Elmo is still awesome in our household, but Boots and Dora are getting up there too. Fantastico!

Great photos!! Sounds like you had a nice time. I'm sure it brought back fond memories of your African gray parrot.
