Trip to the Zoo

Eli and Chase received a zoo membership for Christmas, so we have been able to enjoy the zoo several times this year. We recently went to see the new exhibit, Giants of the Savanna. Unfortunately, the exhibit opened the day AFTER our visit so we didn't get to see it that day. Also, since the exhibit was opening the next day, most of the animals had been moved so we didn't get to see several of the animals. We went back to the zoo the following week to see the Giants of the Savanna and it was AMAZING!!! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera! : ) I highly recommend going to see the exhibit.....but maybe in the Fall when it cools down again! : )

Chase loved the animal statues and hugged them all!

Eli loves the crocs!! One crawled out of the water while we were watching.

The camels.....or as Eli says "canimals" : )

And of course...the water at the Children's Zoo!

Watermelon!!!

We LOVE this time of year......especially the yummy watermelon! : )

Park Time

Chase is fearless and loves to go down the tallest slide at the park. Makes me a little nervous but they both love it!!!!

Climbing to the top

Throwing rocks....another thing that just comes naturally to boys!!!

Chasing a rabbit at the park

TWINS!!!!!

NO, not me!!!! BUT, our cousin, Dalaina, is having twins soon and Eli, Chase and I went to Arkansas a couple of weeks ago to celebrate Dalaina and her twins, Parker and Paisley. We had so much fun!! We can't wait to meet Parker and Paisley!!

AWANA Awards Ceremony

Eli participated in AWANA Cubbies this year. He really enjoyed it and had some absolutely wonderful leaders. The children's programs at Stonebriar Community Church are so amazing! I never thought that a 3 - 4 year old child could memorize Bible verses, but throughout the year, Eli memorized about 25 verses. He can still recite many of them. Here are some pictures from the awards ceremony at the end of the year. Being on stage scared Eli a bit, but I was just so proud that he participated....sometimes he doesn't participate in this kind of program! : )

Eli's class.....The Yellow Lambs with Leaders Mr. Greg and Mrs. Heather

All of the Cubbies singing the Cubbies song

While Eli was in Cubbies, I was a Leader for Sparks (2nd graders). These are my wonderful Sparks. These kids are amazing....all of them memorized their entire books which is over 100 scriptures and a couple of the memorized over 200 verses! Additionally, they are just fun kids! : )
