La Pastora- the zoo in Monterrey




This week is just flying by. Eric got up early to work on some school stuff so I got the boys ready and headed out. They both slept till almost 8 and were in very good moods. On the way to the daycare Drew needed to stop and wave to everyone he saw. Yeah. "How cute". Classes were good and everyone seemed to have alot of energy in the history class. Our prof has a ton of energy and is very passionate about his work. My kids really like both teachers a ton. It is fun to hear them talk about them. Such good kids and they are working really hard.

We thought we were going to visit a software company but that has been moved to tomorrow- we think. Now we were left with the whole afternoon with nothing planned so we had to come up with something quick. We really didn't want to have hours with nothing planned and the kids just bounce off the walls here in the apartment. The pictures I am posting show our "living" room. It isn't bad and the mirrors make it seem bigger. The colors of the furniture however, are bad. But hey, it works! Drew loves to climb on the table thing in the corner that Jared is lying on. Drew likes to climb on the top part and lie down and look in the mirror and "talk" to the baby.

Anyway! For some reason I thought we should go to the zoo so we looked it up and it is not far from here at all. It was 4pm so we picked up the boys and headed over to the zoo since it closed at 6. It wasn't as hot as it has been but boy it was still hot. It was a fun place though and they had a lot of nice exhibits. They are in the middle of renovating it so we didn't see some things because there were no animals in those exhibits. DUH. They did have some cool hawks and owls. They actually had some great cats and some elephants and lions. Since the Dallas Zoo doesn't have lions or elephants anymore it was nice to see these. We sure did sweat a lot though. :)

It was a fun outing and we came home and cooled down. Then we went to Pollo Loco again for dinner. We did NOT eat outside this time though! Jared ate two pieces of chicken and I was so proud of him. Thankfully it is just down the block so it is a good cheap, close dinner we can have once a week. Jared is glad that we have those in Texas. Now I just have to find the closest one!

Eric is telling me right now about their presentation that they are working on tomorrow. He just told me that we are NOT going to the software company tomorrow but to the cerveceria. That would be beer manufacturing plant. It's very famous and it was founded by the great-grandfather of the guy who started the Tec in 1943... So because of that beer we have the school. :) That will be fun though. We might bring the kids to that but I don't know...
