Oldies but Goodies

This past Friday night was such a good time. We went to a 'Zoo Music' night. This entails a night of pic-nicking it at the zoo on the huge park-like grassy area while listening to a live band. If you get there early-ish, you can stroll around and check out the animals in the evening, which is also very cool since our zoo never allows people in at night. The BEST part of the evening was meeting up with several of our friends from way back. We see some of them all the time, and some a few times a year. One couple, Jon and Bella, just moved back with their 4 kiddos and are staying in NM for good this time! We are always excited to get friends back instead of losing them to a move for a better job, etc.

We looked like a field trip school group walking all our kiddos through the zoo. It's amazing to me when I look around and everyone's families have doubled and tripled. Time passes and look what happens. It's just so funny to think back to when we were all living the good student life in our little apartments way back when. Those were the days when a night out took little to no planning and we were all up for whatever came our way. Spontaneity has sadly dwindled, but some quick planning and lots of snacks for the kiddies made for a fun night. Not to mention all the adults snagging each others kids as they left our group's blanketed territory. A little help never hurts!

The music was actually fairly good(don't ask me the name of the group), but the company was great. Thanks for a fun night guys!
