TOGA....TOGA......TOGA.....

Each year Kenny and load of guys from work do what they call

"The Toga Run"

Kenny is 3rd from right in the photo above

Basically it consists of the group of guys he runs with at work getting dressed up in full togas and running down the main street in Rio Rancho to one of the local eating establishments (this year McD's) and eating Caesar salads (of course) and then running back to work.


No real reason for it.


Just a bit of fun.


They got plenty of honks and cheers from passing motorists this year (including one person who stopped to take a picture??!!!???Weird?) and for some strange reason the got more honks when running towards the oncoming traffic than away from it. (I suppose they just looked better from the front than the back?)

Our zoo trip

It has been a busy week or so in the Black house so we decided to make some time for us all as a family to do something fun together. So yesterday Genevieve took the day off work, I was already scheduled to be off and we headed to the Rio Grande Zoo.

This was Mac's first time at the zoo since she really understood what the animals were and she loved it.

A fun day was had by all......and I can assure you that we all slept well that night!

Below are some photos from our day out
