Happy 2008

Even though we are at the end of January, I wanted to wish everyone the best for 2008. Much to blog about so I thought I better get on it. At the beginning of the month we went away for D's birthday to Palm Desert for a few days. But before we did anything we kept to our yearly traditional ceremony of petting a goat and prank calling Carl Rove. It seems to always bring us luck.



Just kidding... Here you see Donna on the phone getting birthday wishes from our good friend Sue while visiting a petting zoo at the Living Desert Animal Park. Here are some more African animals enjoying the California desert climate.

Enjoying the view.

We finished up our trip with a refreshing hike into the desert.
