"Families are as diverse as individuals. The activities they do together vary, but one thing is true for all of them: "In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time." Whether family members get together for scheduled outings, sharing interests, or serving others, these gatherings strengthen relationships that can be eternal."
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Half the group
and the other half.
All the kids
We are so lucky that we get to go to every show at Broadway Palm.  When we found out the next show was Sleeping Beauty we (the girls) were so excited.  The boys were excited to but mostly for the food and getting to hang out with their cousins again.  The show was really good and Lauren absolutely LOVED it!  She kept asking when the prince was going to kiss Sleeping Beauty.

What A Fun Zoo Day!

This is how we started the day...
...and this is how we ended it!
We had such a fun day on our "field trip."  We saw lots of animals, touch a few of them, played on the toys, ate lunch, and even got a popsicle.  Lauren loved her field trip with her cousins, aunts, grandma and mom.

Arizona Milk Producers

This had to be the best picture of the day!

Stingrays, Shells and Zebra Tails

Petting the Stingrays.
Posing in the shell.


Lauren started out on the giraffe until they told us that is the only animal that does not go up and down.
Then, we moved over to the zebra.

The kids had so much fun together.  I have never taken my kids to the zoo without their cousins.  I am sure it would still be fun but then again doing things with their cousins always provides AMAZING fun!  I am so glad my kids have the best cousins ever!

Zoo Trip 2011

"The Crew"
Brock, Sheri, Belle, Ella, Julz, Grandma, Mom, Beau, Brinlee, Cali and Lauren
I got to take my sweet baby girl to the zoo... just the 2 of us!
Lauren loved getting her picture on the "fake animals"


The spider web was so much fun.
We went to the zoo with Sheri and her kids, Julz, Ella and Cali and Grandma.  The weather was perfect (not freezing and raining like last year.)  This was the first time I did not take all the kids.  We told Lauren this was her field trip since all the other kids had field trips throughout the school year.  Lauren loved it!
