Daddy decided to take a day off and spend time with his girls. He took them to Spanish school, lunch, took Teigan to kindergarten and spent some one-on-one time with Brielle. Then he picked Teigan up from school and didn't tell the girls where they were going. Teigan was ecstatic when she realized they were pulling into the zoo parking lot...

"Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow. And we can stay all day!"

Baby snow leopards!

Baby elephants!

Lots of the animal moms and dads were busy last year. There was a baby elephant, baby giraffe, baby snow leopard, baby crocodile, baby orangutan and a couple baby tigers. The girls liked the baby animals the most.

Despite being away from home and the kids so much, I really like my new job as Assistant Director at the Kinder Care (child care center). Bryce has been super man lately. I come home and he has picked up the kids and made a fabulous dinner. Why didn't I start this sooner?

We have had a great summer. Lots of fun and work with our garden, going to the cabin on the weekends and just enjoying being together. We are excited for fall though. Teigan and Brielle already know what they want to be for Halloween......can't tell yet -- wait till the pictures come.
