A Hot One at West Palm Zoo


Photo-A-Day #2993

This photo is over a year later than the last one we took of Eva in the old truck. Check out our visit last year to West Palm Beach Zoo.

Since we have the membership to Capron Park Zoo we get some special admission prices at zoos all over the country. At the West Palm Beach Zoo we get half off for each of us so we go on each trip to Florida. Today we went with Grandpa Dano. We started with a few rides around the carousel for Eva. For a Carousel that is full of so many beautiful animal options like, sea dragon and hummingbird, Eva goes for the horse, on the inside. She was the only kid on the thing and so photos the first ride weren’t that great. For the second trip around I convinced her to move to the outside and she found the one horse on the outside to sit on. Continue reading A Hot One at West Palm Zoo

Energizer Headlights #LightMyWay to a Better Night’s Sleep

I did this shopping trip already, back home and that time I picked up a Cap Light and not one of the Beam Headlights. Big Difference.

The title of this post is completely counter intuitive. How can something that lights up give someone better sleep. Oh, I didn’t mean my sleep, oh no, my sleep has been shot for years and vacations only make it worse. We are down in Florida visiting my in-laws for our vacation. Both kids are sleeping in the same room and my son is a terrible sleeper on a good day, on vacation he’s become impossible. This is the third night in a row that I’ve been up at 3-3:30am trying to get him back to sleep. He can get back to sleep with a little work. Me though, once I’m up, I’m up. 3am or 6am, it doesn’t matter. So, I might as well get some work done. Thing is, I can’t go turning lights on all over the house because that would wake people up and I can’t see my keyboard on my laptop from just the ambient light off of the screen. That is where I thought the night mode of the Energizer Headlight would help me best. If I’m going to run all night like the Energizer Bunny (@EnergizerBunny) I had better be able to see.
