To enjoy the beauty that can be found in the ordinary and to be reminded of just how important the simple things are.

Simple things Sunday Number 88

We’ve had a crazy week with the end of school and all the activities that come along with that. Soccer ended, the kids ran in their second kids marathon and to finish the week with a bang we took a trip to the Calgary Zoo with some of my husband’s family. It was the perfect way to kick off the summer. The weather was beautiful, it wasn’t too crowded and the kids had a blast with their cousins!

We drove about 3 hours to get to the Calgary Zoo and it was totally worth the drive. If you’re anywhere in the area I would totally recommend making a trip this summer! It’s a gorgeous Zoo and the penguin exhibit they have right now is so fun. It was my favourite stop of the day and my kids are officially smitten with the cute little penguins! If you don’t have a zoo membership, you can download a 15% off gate admission coupon here or get buy one General Zoo Day admission get one 50% off coupons from your local Travel Tourism office.

This party is all about celebrating the simple moments and simple joys that make you smile each week. So grab that camera, snap a photo or two and come share with us each Sunday!


Just a few quick rules to play:
1. Grab a button and include it in your simple things post.

2. Link back directly to your simple things post not your blog/website.
No links to other linky parties, giveaways or craft projects pretty please. 
This linky is all about the photos.

3. Be sure to pop by and visit at least 3 other links and leave a comment.
Leave as many as you can. 🙂

  1. I’ve always loved the zoo. My teens aren’t too interested in it any more, though, so I am waiting for the time when that loves returns, and I suspect it will. 🙂

    Love your photography as always.

  8. Rebecca: I always love your simple things post. I get such inspiration from you. Seeing your photos from your trip to the Zoo has me so excited to take my kids to the Zoo in D.C. We go every year, and it’s always a new experience each time. Thanks for sharing.

  10. I love your outfit in that pic! So cute! We love the zoo…it has been a year since we’ve gone..time to go again. We have Disneyland, the San Diego Zoo, and Sea World all within close proximity to us…and we rarely take advantage!
