The Zoo

We didn't just lounge around while Nicole and Clint and Ryann were here-we went to the zoo!! It was a little harder trying to get a large group of people to move together...the more you have the slower you go! But we managed-saw the elephants for Lindsey, monkeys for Ryann, and everything else for Justin (he doesn't care what we see.)

 Nathan and not-then-but-now fiancee, Candace!

 Spotting the baby monkey.

Uncle Clint quickly became the favorite uncle when he bought the kids cotton candy.

 First time for Justin, and it was good!

We love the carousel at our zoo! 

Justin on the okapi. 

I think Lindsey's on the tapir. Cousin Ryann also rode the carousel, but it was a little intense so her and her daddy moved from an animal to the bench until the ride ended.

Parking at the zoo was not good when we got there, so we ended up parking in the Natural History museum parking garage, so after the zoo, we stopped by the butterfly exhibit at the museum.

Got a butterfly right on my arm! 

And finally, playing with the giant, really heavy, solid, maybe marble?, ball that is completely supported by a thin layer of water that you can spin it on! 

What a fun day!! 

What a tiring day! He fell asleep eating the cotton candy-not the blue on his face, hand, and even in the door handle.
