A Day at the Zoo

In my house it is always a zoo, but today we visited the real thing. We watched an elephant eat, counted heads many times, saw otters swimming, watched a rattlesnake watch us and some goober twins picked a gorilla's nose. It was a fun exhausting day.

Morning cuddles

Fun With Ruby

Ruby and Auntie Kara and Curtis are visiting. We had a wonderful day of doing nothing but enjoying each others company. We cuddled Curtis, Ruby and Owen played sometimes great and sometimes not so great. Naps were taken, I got to cuddle Ruby to sleep, stories were told and memories were made.

Spelunking

The kids loved the cave tour they went on, they went through small passage ways even army crawling through the Wormhole. They saw a lot more than we did in our family tour the day before. They even saw a bat.

Hiking with the Kids

While Ben worked at Mammoth Cave the kids and I explored. We had a great time. Owen also rode his first bus on the way to the cave tour. We were only there one night but we fit in a lot of walking and exploring. The kids did great hiking, even Owen walked most of the trails.

Traverse City Historic Center/Lego Carnival

We found a Lego carnival on vacation. The kids built cars and saw many Lego creations. There was also a 2000 lbs cherry pits pit that the kids dug in and played in Owen loved it. Anna modeled the animal skins for us.

Beau's car, it looked cool.

Anna in the bobcat skin...ewwww!

Who Needs Water Slides

We had a great trip to Mammoth Caves. The big kids had a fantastic time on a spelunking tour for kids only. We also hiked to a spring that turned into a mudslide thanks to some imagination and a dad willing to get muddy with them.
