Fun at the Minnesota Zoo

I have been wanting to take Owen to the zoo for a long time and have either never had time or i had no one to go with. So when Jeremy said that he had a sat night off i asked if he would want to go. He hasn't been to the zoo in over ten years so he said he would go.

We had so much fun looking at all of the animals. Owen loved the fish and the sharks. Jeremy loved the big bear and how close it was to us.

It was the perfect day to go as well cause it was kind of overcast and not very hot so there wasn't a ton of people there. We ended up spending most of the day at the zoo and had a blast. I even got a year membership so we could go more. the only thing that we wanted to do was take Owen to a I-MAX movie but by the time we got around to it all that was playing was Transformers and even though that was a good movie i don't think Owen would of liked it.

The whole day was a lot of fun and made us all tired especially Owen.

fun with the whole family

We had a great surprise on Friday . Joni came home for a visit for 4 days! She didn't tell very many people that she was coming home so everyone was very excited to see her. We went to Riceville to watch the fireworks on the 4th and had a lot of fun. Owen didn't really like the fireworks this year but i guess it didn't bother him to much cause he fell asleep about half way through them. All of us girls together was interesting. We haven't been all together since Christmas and it didn't take long before Leslie and Joni were having a contest on who could fit the most grapes in there mouths. Guess who won.... Leslie! She has the biggest mouth out of all of us. But it was so funny i almost peed my pants. It was hard to keep the camera steady to take the picture.
