A Perfect Day For The Zoo!!!

The kids have been wanting a "family fun" day and with the cooler temps today was a perfect day for the zoo.

Only a little while longer till the new polar bear exhibit comes to the zoo! The kids can't wait!

The koala was awake for the first time in all of the years we've been coming to the zoo.

Penguins are always a favorite of the kids.

The kids get close to a Komodo Dragon.

Look Who's On The $100 Bill...

A few more pictures from the exhibit...

I made this cut out of a $100 bill for the exhibit area. The kids (as well as MANY others) had a blast putting their face in the place of Franklin's.



Morgan's turn.

After all of the work it took to make the cut out, even Mom had to give it a try!!

A Night With Benjamin Franklin...

Jake got to spend a little "one on one" time with Ben.

Tonight was the grand opening of my Benjamin Franklin exhibit. The kids came to the opening night performance. Jake's Cub Scout troop even got to be part of the evening events by leading the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance. The event was a big success and I think everyone had a lot of fun!!

First Day of School

Well, summer is officially over. The kids went back to school today.They were both VERY excited to be going back. I hope they always keep that attitude about school.

Time To Go Home

Sunday brings the long car ride home.

A terrific weekend was had by all! Everyone remained happy for the long car ride home.

Saturday Brings Another Great Day!

After a full day of fun, the night ends with glow sticks and fireworks.

Morgan gives tubing a "thumbs up!!"

Morgan & Jake LOVE tubing!! They kept giving the signal to go faster.

Fun in the Sun!!

Friday was spent playing in the water and boating.

Morgan & Jake take a dive off the water trampoline!

Check out Captain Jake, (or is he Skipper to John's Captain??)
