I don’t think they were happy.

More pictures in the fox album on shutterfly.

Took the boys to the zoo today with Amy & Caley. Man it was busy. We spent 3 hours there. Elijah liked the polar bears best I think. My favorite part? When a zoo worker instructed us to get inside the nearest shelter because an animal was on the loose. For ten to fifteen minutes we were holed up in a snack shop. The couple next to us could see there was a commotion, but couldn’t see more than that. Once we were allowed to leave, we inquired, who broke out, and were told it was a giraffe. We later heard it was simply a drill, that they conduct them a few times a month. Well, it was exciting while I thought it was real. 🙂

Here’s the group of zoo workers after the “incident”. You can’t see it in the picture, but some of them are holding guns.

The zoo is a 45 minute drive from our house, so we really only go on free days, or when someone is in town and wants to go. Today we just wanted to go, so I bought a ticket. Once Elijah stops being free (age 3) perhaps we’ll look into getting passes.

I’m super stoked that Jen & Greg are going to be here in a few days. I know the boys will get a kick out of having them here.

Tomorrow night Top Chef returns to pit season one’s final four (Harold, Tiffani, Dave & Stephen) against season two’s (Ilan, Marcel, Elia, & Sam). I think it should be entertaining. Then next week, season three starts.

Watching The Soup a few weeks ago, Joel had a funny quote from Cameron Diaz, so I’ll close with that.

“When Paris suffers, we all suffer.”

Geoff took matters into his own hands today, and tried to get the “downstairs neighbors” to move. I saw no sign of them this morning at 4:30am, and the dirt had not been disturbed. So Geoff took a trip to Home Depot and bought supplies. He spent almost four hours digging a trench, putting down a wire barrier, and filling it. I documented it for you on Shutterfly. The album is called Fox Problem.

I have already contacted three wildlife removal companies, in case we need them. I hope it won’t come to that. I wonder if will would be able to afford it.

I’ll keep you posted.
