Day 8: Noah and his jungle hospital

#100happydays day 8. Happy to have use of the awesome creche area at church so we can still in some way be part of everything, even with crazy children. We've been playing with the jungle hospital which is currently treating a dinosaur, cow and pig of course.

What I want to achieve - day minus 5

Three years ago I took the step of doing the #100dayshappy challenge. I did it in the form of taking a photo or posting on Facebook every day for 100 consecutive days.
