Service Stars

Izzie and Mac completed more Cards for Soldiers this week for their weekly community service!

Thanksgiving Cards

Here's a blurb from Cards for Soldiers' blog:

"Cards for Soldiers was started in January 2006 by the a group of friends and scrapbookers on a scrapbooking message board to support our troops deployed to the Middle East. Now a one woman owned Non-Profit Corporation the mission is to send handmade, blank cards to deployed units for the soldiers to use to write to family and friends. It's been a big hit with the soldiers! Please join me in my program to support the troops! Check out the details, schedule and address below. Thank you for encouraging those who put their lives on the line on a daily basis."

Cards for Soldiers will be accepting Veteran's Day cards until October 8.

**These cards are not BLANK, please write a thank you note to a soldier inside each card.**

North Carolina Zoo

The girls love stopping by the North Carolina Zoo on the way to the beach. I'm thrilled that they love seeing all the animals as much as I do!

There are two continents to choose from, North America and Africa. We asked the girls a silly question of which one to go to first...they are in love with Simba from The Lion King, so it was a quick answer!

Notice that Izzie has Simba and Mac has Nala.

Ready for their Safari adventure...

Mesmerized by all the animals!

Mac searching for Pumbaa, the warthog from The Lion King!

Did I mention that they are huge Lion King fans?

Pumbaa and a friend!

The climax of the adventure....seeing Simba and Nala....sleeping!

The girls were a little disappointed that Simba and Nala weren't talking and playing! Mac couldn't understand why she couldn't give them a big hug and play with them!

She settled for a picture with Simba and Nala.

Investigating Pride Rock!

They had the best time interacting with the lion statues! They played and played!

After dragging them from the lion exhibit, we continued our adventure...

The girls had so much fun watching the baby Chimp play! Again, Mac wanted inside to play with the Chimps! Maybe, she'll be a Zoo Keeper!

Giving hugs and kisses to the baby chimp!

Elephants are my favorite! The girls weren't thrilled to see the elephants...they were too far away to really "see" them...however, they had a great time playing with all the props!

This year's picture on the rhino...

Last year's picture...

After seeing all the animals from Africa, we headed along the loooong path to North America. Did I mention it was 100 degrees with a heat index of 115. Yeah, it was hot and sweaty!

Thankfully, between the two continents was a little area for the girls to play and for us to relax!
