lake and zoo

This week we were able to go to Bartlett Lake with my family. We were only there a few days, where as the rest of my family was there for almost a whole week. But we still had fun the two days we were there. Byron tried wake boarding. He just kept trying and was starting to get the hang of it. I didn't have my camera with me sadly. When I get a copy of that pic from whoever took it, I will post it. The first time Landen saw Byron fall in the water, he got all scared. It was so cute. Neither of my kids liked the boat at first, but they warmed up to it eventually.
Evan, Cohwen, and Landen. They all loved playing together.

We were able to go to the zoo today. If you had your frys card you could get in for free. So I took my kids, Roman and Byron's sisters Michelle and Kaylyn. Sherry and Hinkley also came. It was lots of fun. Towards the end we were hot, tired, and thirsty.(our water was already hot.)I can't believe how hot it is already outside. So not looking forward to the rest of summer.

Sydney sitting on the horse. Neither of them really wanted to sit on it, but we made them for picture sake.

Sydney pointing to the elephants. Which by the way I can't believe I didn't take a picture of the elephants. If you know me, you know that I really like elephants. Darn it!
Adorable little Roman just chillin out, enjoying the ride!

Zebra's. They came right up to the fence line. Pretty neat to be so close to them.
Same with the giraffe's. They were really close. These animals were about the only one's that seemed alive. It was so hot, all of the other animals were sleeping in the shade.
The gang!

What a great day at the zoo! And best of all it was FREE!!!!! However, I don't think I will be going back until it cools down ALOT...
