Fall for the Zoo

We visited the zoo this fall. It's nice to visit during the cooler months. It can be really hot there in the summer!! The kids have been studying animals of the 6th day of creation, so we go often so they can see some of the animals up close.

Here's Joshua's awesome big brother showing him the flamingos! I am so blessed with my kids.



My uncle is working on the remodel of the cat house and he told us that these white tigers are super gentle and loving!! He said you can pet them and play with them. How cool would that be!!

Joshua was fascinated by all the neat bugs in the insect house. I love that he's starting to take interest in these things.

And we saw this condor (I think) stretching his wings and boy were those some awesome wings! The wingspan was over 6 feet!! God's creation is incredible!!!

It's Bouncy, Bouncy Fun!!

Our little girl loves to bounce!!

So for her 8th Birthday, her grandparents granted her wish and surprised her with a trampoline!


Until the snow moved in she was out there every day


bouncing and bouncing

and bouncing and bouncing!!!

She flies up and and plops down and then up again she goes!!

Hair flying, legs up arms flailing!!

She giggles and smiles and comes up with new "moves".


She loves her new trampoline.

Her face says it all!!!
