Last week Sunday, we went on a family trip to our local zoo. The weather was beautiful for it with sunny skies and a soft breeze. The temperature couldn’t have been more than 76. It was great! Not too hot that the smell (you know the smell I’m talking about) of the zoo stifled the air but warm enough that the kids could stay warm in summer clothes. Perfect.
We don’t have the biggest zoo here but the kids got to see some cool stuff and the grown up kids got to do some cool stuff. Dan, Kevin & Claire (Kevin’s stepdaughter) went on a rope obstacle course. I was taking pictures of them getting their harnesses put on and while taking the picture, I saw a look of extreme discomfort on Kevin’s face. Continue Reading »
Alright, they finally gave me the link to download them. I’ll warn you that they are LOW resolution and so they kind of suck on the computer. Some of the pictures, we look like we are missing teeth or kind of wonky. Anyways, it gives you a general idea. You can let me know if you think we did a good job of not janitorizing ourselves but still matching in a general sense. There’s a ton of pictures and so I’ll just let you browse.

We went to the zoo on Sunday with Dan’s family. There are a ton of pictures that I will be posting later but I thought I would start with the lions. They were really cool to watch and were actually playful.
Earlier this summer, the kids were outside playing and I could watch them thru the bathroom window. They were being adorable and it dawned on me that I could tape them without them knowing it for once! I was excited at this new prospect and got the camera. I started taping and only got 3sec of tape before I had to stop. You’ll see why.
With summertime comes hanging out with friends and trips to beaches. Particularly in MI when we only have a couple good months to do any warm weather activities. And so, I’m off again. The kids, dogs & I will be heading up to Sandy’s cottage for the rest of the week.
We were supposed to leave this morning but life happens regardless of how you plan. We restrategized and should be leaving shortly. I’ll make sure I take a lot of fun pictures and videos while we’re there. For those that came late to this blog, I posted about our trip there last year.
Of course, I have not forgotten my duty to entertain on the regular so I have at least one post scheduled to go up each day until my return. Feel free to comment and I’ll respond when I get back. Peace out
This picture cracks me up so hard. I love it. Gerrit insisted on wearing his goggles in the hot tub at Cheri’s cottage and this is the result. The cutest swamp monster you ever saw.
