Ben's Earned Trip To the Zoo

The second week of school got off to a bit of a rough start for Ben, with two yellow days (it goes green, yellow, red). He was not alone, as most of the boys in the class had the same issues according to the class email that was sent out. So to reign back in, Ben could earn a trip to the zoo if he got all greens for a week. He worked hard and pulled it off, so he got a special, Ben only, trip to the zoo. He got to do whatever he wanted which included feeding the parakeets, finally seeing the baby orangutan (for a brief second), finally getting to see the red pandas, and seeing the bird show, which we had never done before. All around, it was a good day :)

The Evolution of Picture Taking Faces

Just so much cuteness (or ridiculousness) 







Fun at the 577 Foundation

Nick and I spent a morning at the 577 Foundation with Julia and Ben taking some photos. Got lots of cute ones of the kids.

The Gang's Back Together, Again!

It was a sad event that brought us all together again, but we made the best of it when Candi and the kids came into town for the weekend. Candi's grandmother, who was 107, passed away. But we celebrated her life with a cul de sac reunion.

Another Day, Another Trip to the Zoo

Our end of summer trip to the zoo (Ben got to come this time). Unfortunately, I suppose, the zoo was packed, AGAIN. We didn't get to see the new baby orangutan or the new red pandas. But Ben did get to check out the new playground and splash pad.
