Minnesota Zoo

We spent Monday at the Minnesota Zoo with everybody!  Everyone either had the day off of work or took it off-awesome!  We got to the zoo bright and early and had a day full of fun!  The kids had a great time seeing all of the animals!  Here's how I would break down everyone's favorite part (again this is according to me!)  George loved watching the fish in the aquarium, a fisherman in the making like his daddy! Liam loved feeding the giraffes and the goats-this boy isn't afraid of animals!  Callie loved watching the monkeys and found a baby, a grandma and a grandpa monkey (they were the gray ones!). Anderson loved the dinosaurs, until he got there and realized he was afraid of them.  Grandma helped him out and explained how they weren't real.  In all seriousness I think he liked the monkeys too but he's still talking about the dinosaurs.  Aunt Brenda loved the cow-dog (can't remember the name) which looked like a cow but sat like a dog and would babysit each others kids-up to 16 kids at a time!  Uncle Josh loved the Dhole!  Grandpa loved feeding the goats and having them stand on him!  Grandma loved seeing all her kids and grandkids having a wonderful time together!  Mom (that's me!) loved not being attacked by an ostrich (inside joke from when I was a kid) and seeing the buffalo.  Way to go zoo-you rocked our Monday!

Minnesota Week 1

I can hardly believe we've been in Minnesota for over a week already! Our time here is going to be over before we know it!  We've done so much and seen so many people already!  There are tons of pictures below and believe it or not there were too many times I didn't take any pictures!  I'm not going to give y'all the day by day details, you can see our fun in the pictures, but I will say-I love being at home and seeing all the people I love love on my kids!  I only wish it could happen more often but we'll soak it all in while we're here and take it with us when we go.  Thank you all for loving us!
