Niabi Zoo

The day after we went to the sprinker park, we went to the zoo! Our friend Sam had free tickets for the "In the Wild" Festival, and she invited us to go! We had a blast even though it was one of the hottest days ever! Not only did we get to see all the animals but there was also games, firetrucks, and bounce houses for the kids. It was a lot of fun! :-)

Collier's favorite part for sure was feeding the fish, ducks, and goats! He laughed and laughed when the goat licked his hands! He also loved the ducks and swans. I was so nervous they were going to bite him, but they just nibbled.;-) Brenna is always a fan of the petting zoo and the pony rides.

Sprinkler Park!

A couple weeks ago, we went to the sprinkler part with Sam, Jeremy, and Maddy! It was so much fun, and is now on our list of summer activities! I had no idea the sprinkler park was even there, glad Sam told me about it. Brenna absolutely loved it, and of course Collier was cautious. When we're at home he's out of control, but when were in unfamiliar environments he can be very leary and clingly. But he did play some, and some of the time he just wanted to sit with me. All 3 kids LOVED the popsices....lol...never would of guessed that. ;-)

Enjoy the pictures!

Swimming!

Today we went swimming at Aunt Krista's house. This was the kids first time in an actual pool, and not just a kiddie pool. Brenna loved it, and Collier hated it. I think he was just really tired and the water was just a little chilly.

Brenna and Rayden!




Ray! He kept closing his eyes when I took a picture.


My beautiful girl!


She looks like such a big girl!

Outside time!

Collier stole my sweet tea. I literally had to pry it out of his hands, he was not a happy camper that this mean Mommy wouldn't let him drink it all!


Watering the crazy flowers/plants. Notice C sucking down my sweet tea, this is right when he took it.

Sidewalk chalk time!

4-wheeler time! See those crazy bushes? Those are raspberries! Somehow I missed that they were raspberries last year. Maybe its because I had a new baby and no time for outside or maybe they didn't grow last year..haha! IDK...but I love that we have those bushes! The kids love them more!

Zoo Field Trip

Last Tuesday (6-15) Brenna and I went on her school field trip to the Niabi Zoo. I was pretty excited to go because last year Collier was just a little one and I had to stay home with him. It was a lot of fun watching her interact with all of her friends. I have to say that it makes me very proud to know that she gets along with EVERYONE. Obviously, I adore her, but its nice to know that her classmates as well as her teachers do as well.

On a bus for the first time! Anyone who knows Brenna knows that she is obsessed with "Baby Buses". We live next to the Junior High and she used to love watching the buses come and go. She's not obsessed as she used to be, but she still loves them and was very excited to ride a bus.


Sad. I wanted to keep feeding the fish and she didn't.


Riding the pony.


The Giraffes!

With some of her friends!

Playing before lunch.

We spent the first part of the zoo trip walking around with Brenna's friend Bodie and his Mom. Then we met up with Brenna's teachers and the children that were with them. All Brenna cared about was walking around with her friends. I really think she could have cared less if I was there. :( She's growing up! We had a lot of fun, and I can't wait to go on more school trips with her.
