Mini Vacation - Day One

Last week, Kevin was able to take some time off from work and we enjoyed a mini-vacation. First up was Chloe's first trip to the zoo. She spent a lot of time looking like this:


Peering over/around the stroller to see all the interesting sites. Of course, if she couldn't see the animals in the exhibit, we took her out to look. I asked Chloe where the rhinoceros was....

Yep! That's it! :)

We had a really good view of the elephants....although Chloe seemed more interested in their fountain and water....

and this giraffe was eating leaves off the tree:


The gorillas had just finished eating lunch....

and the American Black Bear was taking a nap:

Chloe's favorite part of the day was the time we spent in the aquarium. She liked being close to the fish and watching them swim around.


We saw sting-rays...
and the polar bear....


and watched the sharks eat lunch!
The last animals we saw were the sea lions. Kevin was taking video while one sea lion started following Chloe and I! It was pretty funny!



We had a great day at the zoo! Next post: what we did for the rest of our vacation!

Looks like a fun zoo trip! Chloe is so cute -- can't wait for 'the girls' to see each other again at homecoming! :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!

You are growing into a compassionate, cheerful, young lady! We love you Chloe and are looking forward to this year with you!! 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
