Zoo

Zoo's are awesome! We got to go to Utah this summer and one of the first things we did, after a family reunion was go to the Hogle Zoo. I enjoyed watching the sea lions and seals preform. The boys were less impressed.

 Hopeful Hero liked walking around the small animal building.

 The boys are looking at some snakes.

 We got to go to a bird show there. It was really fun! The birds were flying over head and it was awesome!

 They asked for a volunteer and they picked out the Friendly Hero! After he said his name and smiled for the audience, the lady told them to release the California Condor. The whole audience gasped, and she quickly said, "just kidding, it's a morning dove!"

 Here is the bird eating out of his hand!

It was really fun to go to the Zoo with our Aunt K and Grandma! We are excited to come back to Utah again in December!

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Mom, these were yummy. We should totally have them again!

Sign of a good meal! If it's all over her face, it was put into her mouth. If she's clean then the floor is a mess!

Here comes Kindergarten!

 Friendly Hero is on his way to Kindergarten! He is so happy! This is on the "first day" which was a back to school day. Our school is doing a gentle start---gentle on most kids and on the school and teachers. It must be insane with all the new kids and trying to get them ready.

 Smiling for his teacher!

 Waiting for the bus on the first day! He is so excited to go!

Climbing onto the magic school bus! I am so excited for him, and we are ready for this change and development as a family!
