Sophie's Proofs - 3 yrs

Hogle Zoo

It snowed on Saturday.  Sunday turned out to be a beautiful, sunny, perfect day to visit the zoo.

Sophie loves to have her picture taken.  

This is the typical Sophie pose.

Snow again, just like last September 2006.

Feeding the Swan

Poor ducks, this swan ruled over when it came to eating.

A voracious appetite!

At least Vince still had all his fingers afterwards.

Alta and Snowbird

Well, it actually snowed in Alta. Vince is stoked and can’t wait for November 18th. Sophie is ready for ski lessons....well, anything is better than going to Daycare as far as she’s concerned. I'm hoping to greatly improve on my turns and technique.
