Lake Life

Thank you Becky and the Lyons family for having us to your cottage. 

Pure Michigan weekends are near and dear to my heart.

Was fun to have the night off and be a guest for once :)

  

Wine & Wildlife: Animal Dads

Was a really special event to get to have my Dad be my date and for him to be able to see what I do for a living these days. Everyone really enjoyed the lecture and to learn about all the fascinating roles that animal dads play in the universe. 

Be sure to catch our next Wine & Wildlife on September 22!

Raaaar!

Happy Father's Day!

Ever so thankful for my dad for helping to bring me into this world so that I can experience love like no other for Stella & Cole. A very special Happy Father's Day wish to my brother who has added soo much to my life. Specifically, Thing One & Thing Two :)

Natalie & Alan's Nature-ly Beautiful Wedding

"To think in such a place, 

I led such a life."

This stunning quote on Natalie & Alan's wedding program nearly made me burst into tears of happiness, love, and joy. It goes without saying that this place means so very much to me, but to watch "Pastor Steve" officiate the ceremony of two beautiful people who were meant to be together brought about ALL the feels :) 

To think in such a place, I led such a life, 
with such WONDERFUL people.

Love is love is love is LOVE!

Kovler Seal Pool

So proud of the entire Facilities team at LPZ for the four months of hard work it has taken to renovate the Kovler Seal Pool. 

Those three Harbor Seals, and our entire Operations crew, are so lucky to reap the benefits of your labor. 

Bishop, Gambit, and Storm get to swim in their pool starting tomorrow morning. I just know I'm going to cry at the re-opening ceremony.
