Friday, for family fun day...Mike only worked a couple of hours in the a.m. and then let the girls choose what they wanted to do that day. They both picked the zoo! We had a great time. It was really hot, but the kids loved the animals and the toys they picked up. 
Amanda reminded us the difference between an African elephant and Asian elephant by looking at their ears. African elephants have bigger ears. And she learned some new ways to tell from the 'eco-explorer', James, such as both male and female African ele's have tusks, etc.
Looking for the bears!
Brandon showing us his toy...an annoying tiger that he could make growl at will. Great toy for a boy!!
Nice smile, Amanda!
We went to Discovery land show and the girls both touched a HISSING COCKROACH! UGH! Also, a rabbit and a chuckwalla. They are braver than I!
Saturday night we went to the Jarman's for a bbq and outdoor movie with a bunch of families from the neighborhood. The Jarman's and most of the other families are from 'the other ward' in our neighborhood, which starts just around the corner (about 3 houses away) from us. We laugh that we live so close, but because we are in 'the other ward' we never see or talk with each other. It was a fun night with good conversation, the kids had a blast and what could be more fun than an outdoor movie?!?!?

You know, I have never been to the zoo here! I keep thinking I need to go, but then I think I will just hold off a little longer because it will be so much more fun with our little girl! And no, I really can't think of anything much more fun than an outdoor movie -- what a GREAT idea!! Glad you guys had a fun weekend!
Definately wait to go to the zoo until you have your baby! It's more fun to see how excited the kids get. Thanks for reading! Jill
