Why Not Go To The Zoo?

Our good friends Chris and Dominick (he is behind me in this photo) invited us to tag along to the zoo with some of their friends and we couldn't come up with a good reason not to go. The weather was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better day. The kids are definately ending their summer on a high note!

Gianna and I are in the Butterfly Tent in this photo. There were hundreds of butterflies everywhere and the colors were amazing. We had to be very careful to look where we stepped!


Gemma and Spencer thought this was a cute zebra and wanted a photo to remember their visit to the zoo. It also marked the last animal on our visit. They were very eager to hit Como Town and go on the rides!
They had a blast on the rides. They drove the cars below, went on a roller coaster and a few other rides. I can't believe that next summer, Gianna will be going on some of these rides and Gemma and Spencer will be outgrowing others. Time goes by too quickly!!!!
We decided on a last minute bonfire in the backyard. The kids will be going back to school on Tuesday and our schedule will be too busy too soon. Gemma enjoyed a smore while Spencer enjoyed roasting marshmellows for me. Gianna was sound asleep as all this was going on. God willing, she'll be sleeping until tomorrow morning! Wish us well!
