Come visit!

Just wanted to remind you all not to forget about us when you are planning to go on vacation. Arizona is getting to a very good time to come and visit! We still go swimming quite frequently (and always for free) and it is even cooling off in the mornings. Besides, who can resist that smile?

p.s. You'll have your own room if you come--you can even have 2 rooms and your own bathroom.

A good one of Jacob

This popped up on my screen saver yesterday and it made me chuckle.

Does Jacob measure up?

Actually, Jacob DID spread out to see if he measured up to the size of a gorilla. It just didn't happen on the most recent trip to Hogle Zoo.

Green means Go-cart

Built for one?

Try two! Becca and Micah cuties. (Looks like Micah needs Kim's driving pillow.)

Nice work on the go-cart, Jordan!

Hogle Zoo Here We Come

We had a fun day at the Hogle Zoo today.












Eliza started out the day with a lion-sized drink!













"Did somebody say a big drink?" (Lily)













Becca and Micah can't get to everything fast enough.












Micah (and Lily) let Grandma know that snakes are something to get all excited about!


















Eliza's "on top" of the world . . . or at least a statue. Meanwhile Micah is in the background, planning strategies on an unsuspecting pacifier owner.










Janel with a tired-of-walking crew. She revived all our spirits with her famous chicken salad sandwiches later. :)












Eliza checking her arm span with these hairy mammals.












Jacob spreads out to see if he measures up . . . to an infant gorilla, that is.


















Eliza has an up-close-and personal look at a real live gorilla . . . from one inch away!












Grandma & Micah and Lily and Janel aren't phased by this stern looking gorilla. Bring him on!











The giraffes were so captivating, Eliza and Lily couldn't be persuaded to look...even for a very brief photo moment.












It didn't take any "egging on" to get Lily in this big shell.












Micah considering a future in canine dentistry.

Lily emerging from the snake slide.













Lily led out and showed the others how to stay cool.

















Micah took this instruction seriously.


















When we looked like this . . . we knew it was time to head for home.

Lily makes sure Grandpa gets his share.













Jordan gives some trampoline tips.
