Note from the editor

Below Nate is pictured with a jaguar, not a leopard. My deeper investigation concludes that the jaguar is bigger and is native to the western hemisphere.* I guess I should stop telling Nate and Ella that he is a leopard. I was wrong after all (takes a lot to say that). Here is the conversation I had with another mom at the zoo last week.

Me, "Look Nate, a leopard!"
Other mom, "I think it is a jaguar"
Me, "I think they are the same thing. Look at the pretty leopard Ella!"

*Thank you Wikipedia for the clarification.

The Zoo

Last weekend Grandma and Papa T were in town and we all went to the zoo (Uncle Kevin joined us).


Nate and the penquins.


Nate and the leopard (jaguar? is there a difference?)

As I am uploading these I realize we didn't get many shots of Ella. Rest assured, she was there. Ella loves the zoo but sometimes "gets scary" at the animals and ends up spending a lot of time in the wagon. Here is a cute pic of both kids.
