Zootastic

Last Wednesday I had the day off and I was feeling like doing something fun. So I called my neighbor Dana and said we should go to the zoo. A few phone calls later and canceling her Children's Museum plans we were headed to the zoo! I hadn't been to the zoo in years and I was so excited!

This giant elephant would make sounds every minute or so and Hadeigh and Colter (Dana's kids) were afraid of it and wouldn't get a picture with me so Dana and I took our first photo of the day.

This is by the elephants. I think the baby elephants name was Zuri. She was sure cute! Oh and if you are thinking that Hadeight is talking, or gazing at something, or whatever you might be thinking your wrong, that is how she smiles and I love it!

Next we were headed to the tigers! Oh and this is the best smile ever on cute Hadleigh's face!

Dana got her photo taking skills on and used her stroller to get all of us in the picture. Her friend and daughter went with us. All of us made it in the picture except for baby Blake, he was sleeping in the stroller.

Next the giraffes. This one kept coming so close to us! Colter would not smile in a picture with me, even after we tried several bribes. Oh well at least you can see cute Hadleigh trying to get the best view possible.

So we stopped by the monkey building and I fell in love with this cute one. I don't even know what it is called but it was sure cute. I just sat and watched it for a few minutes. Little did I know Dana was watching and laughing at me.

He was my favorite animal for the day.

Another cute picture with the kids on the rhino. It was very slippery and hard to climb up on.

Colter wanted to go for a ride on the carousel, and since Hadleigh didn't want to go I got to go with him. He wanted to ride the Elephant, it was his favorite animal and still is as far as I know. It might have changed, but on that day it was his favorite.

And of course I had to keep Dana entertained while she watched us go around, and around, and around..... you get the picture.

After we saw the real gorilla we found this one. I had to give him a kiss he was too cute!

Dana has a season pass to the zoo and goes quite frequently. On a previous trip there she took this exact same picture and I loved it. So of course I had to copy her and get one for myself. It was kind of hard climbing into that turtle shell, but it was worth the outcome.

Overall I loved my day at the zoo. It was so much fun going with the kids and having them tell me the animals names! They were so cute! I love it, maybe even more than they did. I can't wait to go again!

Bikes, Melon and chickens?

So I had Labor Day off, which I never do so we made some plans. Since the weather is quickly turning cold my dad called Brack and I and asked if we wanted to go for a motorcycle ride. We of course said yes. So we drove up to Kamas and met my mom and dad and Steve and Tiffany Price. The three of us then headed up through Woodland and towards a small town called Hana. We stopped at a greasy diner and had lunch.

After our ride home we went and sat in my parents backyard. Took a quick nap because I woke everyone up after having a spider crawl on my arm. My dad came went in the house and a few minutes later came back with giant slices of watermelon.

Well since we were up there, I had to go get the eggs out of the chicken coop. There were a few. You can kind of see in the background my paint job I did back in high school to make he chickens feel a little bit more at home. It is now more covered in poop but it still remains. Overall it was a great day off!
