November in the land of crazy viable weather and ice...

So yeah freezing and snow one day to the next being in the 70s Fahrenheit I thought it wasn't meant to be that crazy.... maybe something to do with are the carbon entering the atmosphere, that's what most people point to when you talk to them about it! Crazy Melbourne weather has nothing on this!

Few things going on, it's nice to be able to drive if the weather isn't great and it's good to have the flexibility to go out when we want as a family!  Last week was Nick and Lily's anniversary so we had a night out in Philadelphia, including cocktails, tasty bar snacks and some dancing.  Nick's been feeling a little let down on the dancing front of late so it was great to hit a cool little bar with a DJ mixing it up to get our bogie on. 

Bella has a new favourite outfit (other than her Princess Sophia PJs), Mira the leopard:




And we saw Bella's love for animals in full focus at the Philly Zoo when we visited with our new friends James and Henrietta:

 Ant display

 Baby lions: Bella's absolute favourite even if she doesn't roar like crazy any more..... Some things we wish she didn't grow out of :-(

Big Daddy Lion

The Zoo had many paths a number of animals could use to check out different areas of the Zoo.  Here a leopard is making the most of it

 Girls loving the animals moving around above!

Group shots! Can't get the girls attention though....



When the weather hasn't been too bad Nick's been riding and exploring more the of the surround areas/towns. Below are some photos from such a ride!






Nice park

Still frozen!

Local factory 



All rugged up! 

Bella is still getting lots of time climbing and sliding even with with it getting colder


Get the ice of the slide Daddy, please!



Time to decorate Christmas tree number 1 (of two) and sing some good old Christmas carols!



 


(Notice the large number of decorations at the bottom of the tree) 




Much love from Nick, Lily and Bella
