Back seat drivers...

Grandfather usually has to stay late after church because he's in the Bishopric and has things to do. Last Sunday he just happened to be leaving at the same time as us, so the boys excitedly declared they were riding home with him... The following is an experience and resulting conversation that Grandfather relayed to me:

Someone was kind of riding Grandfather's tail on the way home, so as he turned the corner to head to his street, he caught a bit of the curb.

Chase, "Uhhh What was that?! A bump?"
Grandfather, "Ya, it was a bump."
Aiden, "It felt like a dead human!"

Ummmm what?! I don't even know where to begin... So maybe I just won't.

Things learned in Primary...

We were sitting at the table last week eating breakfast and out of the blue Chase asked, "You know what my teachers say when we say 'nothing'?" I said, "No, what?" He replied (with a pointing finger and great enthusiasm), "You greatful UNchild!" lol It has become my new favorite saying. :)

Summer 'O Fun... take 2

Oh ya... I started something way back, huh? Take 1, there has to be a continuation, right?! Well, here we go... Well, of course we made more trips to the Colorado Springs zoo... OUR zoo.

More terrifying moments in the grip of the giant bear:

And in case it's not clickable, here's a close-up! :)

And before you think I'm just mean and evil for finding pleasure in the above picture (ok, maybe I am!) the boys do this pose almost everytime we go to OUR zoo. This time, for some reason, Aiden thought he was going to fall, hence the face. It's so priceless, though, don't you think?

our friends, Megan and Trevin (I know, cute overload!)

our other equally adorable friend (and son/brother to Megan and Trevin) Talan, the giraffe.

And last, but not least, their handsome son/ brother, Tyler! :)

My very own snow leopards... dangerous, scary snow leopards, I should add! ;)

Chase...

Cousin, Laura

Running into scary animals who have escaped from their cages... ok, just kidding! :) Our friends, the Malans with their cute little grandson!

These are just a few of our adventures at our zoo. Anyone want to join us? After this pictorial, how could you NOT?! :)
