Zoo Fun

I just LOVE the Zoo! Especially when I get to take little Bubba who is an animal lover to the max! In fact, he carried a little lion with him the entire trip and never let go. In the car he had 3 lions that he played with on the long drive to and from the zoo.

Since Tia had to be at work by 2:00 we got up very early and got there just as the gates were opening. It had been raining through the night, but the weather was nice, overcast but not too cold. I'm not sure if it was due to the coolness of the weather or because it was so early, but the animals were all up and moving around. It was PERFECT!

About half way through our excursion Shandra looked down and realized that she had two different shoes on!!!! It was so funny!

Our favorite part was watching little Zuri, the new baby elephant. She was so cute. We could have watched her all day long.

There were workers walking around carrying animals. They would let you touch them (if it wasn't too dangerous) and answered questions.

Bubba loved this owl, but was very insistent that he not get too close!

Our favorite sign on the tiger exhibit.

It was such a great excursion - I can't wait to go again.

What a fun trip! I love the zoo especially when it's not too hot that the animals are all just laying around! The baby elephant is so cute and I love Shandra's shoes. Ha! Ha! Too funny!

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Scones and Bonfire

Image
I'm pretty sure that we have the greatest, most friendly ward in the world. I look forward to activities with ward members, we always have such a fun time. Tonight we had a scone fest in the mountains up above Jezak's house. It was quite an adventure hiking up, but once we got there we found that it was definitely worth the trip! They had leveled out a beautiful spot and built a huge fire pit. From this spot we could see the entire city. It was incredible. It has been rumored that Kim is the "Scone Master" so we put him to the test. He hauled his camp chef stove and dutch ovens up the mountain and then proceeded to fry up scone after scone. He did not let us down, each scone was perfectly cooked, not the least bit doughy, and fried to a beautiful golden brown. He is the Master! We had a good crowd make the hike and we enjoyed scones, Stephen's hot chocolate, and an enormous bonfire. It was so relaxing. Over the popping of the embers you could hear several conver...

A Walk With Christ

Image
My friend, Marilyn, is immensely talented, creative, as well as a spiritual giant! She wrote a presentation called "A Walk With Christ" especially for our Young Women at girl's camp . I was so impressed with the presentation that I tattled to our Relief Society President and suggested that the sisters in our ward would benefit from the presentation. She agreed, and last night we again had the privilege of learning about the Savior by way of Marilyn's presentation. Because I was so moved and touched by the experience, I would like to share some of it (disclaimer: my words do no justice to the actual words from the script - both Marilyn's and those from the prophets and scriptures that were quoted). As part of the program, we heard the recorded words of Christ moving through the hallways of the building. We felt a desire to listen and follow His voice as we were lead to different rooms where we "met" people who had a direct association with Jesus during Hi...
