A New Zoo

Dad came home today after only being at work for a few hours saying he was headed up to Idaho Falls to golf & go shooting and invited us to go with. We called Stephanie, who's husband Brian was the one going with Dad. She was more than happy to spend the day with us and let us hang out at their house as well.

We started off with lunch at Wendy's. The kids were such goofballs and kept cracking Stephanie up. They got some fun linking toys with thier kids meals.

Then we headed over to the Idaho Falls Zoo, Tautphas Zoo. This was our first time and Mom realized she forgot the camera half way there. She had the other one but no memory card. Stephanie was nice enough to let us use hers. The zoo was much bigger than our tiny one we had just been to and had so many different animals. The kids even enjoyed the petting zoo. At first they were nervous about feeding the goats but then they took every la
st bit of the powder from their food dispenser and let the goats lick their hands. YUCK! It sure was fun to watch their little faces. Then at the end Mom gave in and let the older kids make an image onto a penny.

There was a park near the zoo so afterwards we let the kids play around for a little while until Dad & Brian showed up. They had an okay round of golf and were not hungry. So they headed over to get food at the store while Mom & Stephanie took all the kids back to their place. We watched Tangled and rested for a little bit.

Dad made some yummy food, as always. He grilled some nectarines with a honey raspberry balsamic glaze over the top, BBQ rub chicken and some cheese & bacon stuffed peppers. It was so delicious, especially the nectarines.

Then the men went shooting while we sat outside and the kids played with their neighbors kids. The rode bikes, played ball, ran around and collected rocks. It was mostly tearless, except for Kaitlyn. She was having a LONG moment and Mom got frustrated. She finally calmed down just before the men returned and it was time to go home. We got home late but had a very fun day!!!

Learning to Hula

Today was a big day for Kaitlyn. We registered her for Kindergarten. It didn't quite go as planned for Mom though. We all got up early with Staci and took her to school. Then we got in line for the registration. Mom was feeling pretty good because we were like 12th one there. But as we waited for 45 minutes and got up to the front of the line they wouldn't put Kaitlyn's name on the list because we didn't have prove of our address. Mom wasn't aware that we needed it since we already have one child at the school and they should have this on file. They said they could give her the paperwork but that she couldn't be added to the list until they can verify where we live. Mom had to go home. She was furious and hoped that we could still get Kaitlyn into this school. Here in Pocatello they have open enrollment so you can take your kids where ever you want. This doesn't make any sense why it matters where you live then anyways but Mom hurried as quickly as she could...

Monster Trucks

This morning the kids all slept in but we had to get them going since today was going to be a busy day. We made pancakes & eggs for breakfast. After we ate it was time for Staci to say good bye to Cami & take her home. They had a fun sleepover although Staci has been one onwry girl every since. So it will be a few weeks before she can have another sleep over, that is for sure. We left to go and get Dad's new toy, a new BBQ grill. We got it at Costco for a little more money than Mom had originally thought when Dad started searching a few months ago. But this grill has everything; an oven, ice box, a searing station, griddle and more. It is everything Dad wants in a BBQ. But now Dad can do all the big cooking outside and not use up the kitchen for the big dinners that he puts on for people. Dad is a great cook and Mom's know this will get plenty of use. Well we got home and then had to get Xander changed to be ready for his big game. It was his first t-ball game today and...
