A Fun Little Trip to IFA = A New Addition to the Zoo !!


This afternoon my friend Jamie stopped by to show us her cute new bunny.

The little boys fell in love and I started bugging Mike about "just going to look at them". (I actually was interested in the chicks. I would love to have chickens and yummy fresh eggs. ) Anyway, Isaac said "Mom ask Dad if we can get a bunny and keep it alive". He knows his Dad WAY too well. He knew that Mike would say something about snake food.

After a quick dinner we headed to IFA. There is a WAY cool new IFA in Ogden. I could spend hours there! I got seed potatoes, and a square foot gardening book and onions..... And left Mike to decide about the bunny. Needless to say we came home with a bunny. It will reside outside, due to allergies, but the boys don't care. They are in heaven. One more pet for them to love and me to feed! The naming process was painful. EVERYONE had an opinion and nothing seemed right. I wanted a great name for our newest addition. So our little girl is..........Ushi .........That's Czech for ears and said "ooh she".

5 Boys, 3 snakes, a Beagle and a Bunny= A ZOO !!!
