This morning I went to the Dallas zoo with my mom, sisters and nephews. We went on the monorail and checked out the African Savannah. The boys also traded some nature items they found in for some other fun items, in the children's area there is a place where you can bring items and they give you certain amount of points to spend. So the boys brought in shells, sand and other items they found at the beach and in exchange they got shark teeth, sate and other rocks that they picked out. I have attached some pictures below, I would put other pictures up but Archie is not feeling up to any pictures. I took another little break from the hospital before Archie's mom and stepfather left town. They leave tomorrow afternoon to head home so they can watch our niece while his brother and his wife go on a two week Disney cruise. Poor Archie is stuck with me for the next week.

Sunday brought a day that Archie was a little tired, he slept until about 8:30 am. He then had three visitors for about an hour afterwards. After the visits he slept until 1 pm. I think the past couple of days without naps have wiped him out. Archie did watch about 30 minutes of Dallas Cowboy football which is the first time he has been interested in watch any sporting event on tv. It has been challenging for him to wear his glasses to focus on something, generally he gets a headache after to much concentration. His mom and Jerry left around one to head back to Wichita Falls.
* Thank you to Jim C, Mindi & Chris, Kevin & Traci, Mel & Dave, Brian D, Kyle G, Jerry F, Mendy & David, Jess T, Bob & Sheryl for coming to visit Archie.
