The Zoo

Ali | August 26, 2009

Alonzo in front; my mom and dad; my sister, Heather and her sons, Tyler, Jake, and Lily (in stroller). It was a great time to go to the zoo.  All the baby animals were out.  This was a baby giraffe not yet 1 month old.  She was so cute and little. Alonzo in front of [...]

New Table
