On the blog again!

So I thought that summer was supposed to be a relaxing event. I am home and not working, so I will have oodles of time to do what I want to do, right? WRONG!!! I forgot that I always over plan and take on huge things at the first of the summer. This year was no different. I wanted to record some memories (photos) in digital format. I was planning on giving both my dad's this present for fathers day. Well my project turned huge! I figure that I scanned and fixed about 800 photos. I couldn't even look at my computer for several days! But I feel good about it and am glad that I finished it.

I did get to take a trip to the zoo with the kids in the middle of the project. I took my camera to record the experience. Alas, my battery died. That is the luck of Glenna. But here are some of the ones that actually survived.

The Rhino statue was fun to slide on. Wes, Khusten, and Tanner were all over it.

Allie is practicing her modeling skills on the Rhino. She is a natural.

This is cranky Mr. Peacock. Audrey was facintated by his bright colors and the sound he was making. She wanted to take a closer look. That is until he puffed himself up, shook his feathers and yelled at her. She then turned tail and made a hasty retreat.Allie is unfazed by the noise. All she wants to do is be cute!

Khursten however doesn't like the noise either. But again Allie is unfazed.

One thing I did learn about kids and the zoo was that the grown-ups in charge really don't get to see much of the animals. They are too busy counting heads to make sure no one gets lost.
The kids were great. But let's face it they were very excited kids.
A good time was had by all.
