Day at the Zoo

Donny and I took the kids to the zoo today in Boise. It was a hot but fun day. The kids really enjoyed seeing the different animals in person but it was kind of hard to explain what to look for to them if the animal was hard to find. I think their favorites were the tigers and monkeys. It definitely wore us all out and all but daddy took a nap on the way home.

Day at the Beach

I took the kids to a little lake by Twin Falls the other day. It is pretty nice and gives them all something to do. There is a fence as you can see in the shallow area, which is nice to keep the kids from going to deep and drowning. Plus Nicolas loves to eat the sand:)

Time Flies!

I cannot believe the last update I did was for the 4th and this week is the end of the month already. Where does the time go? But with 3 little ones you definitely stay busy. We have had a long week of sick kids and when mom gets sick - it is always not good. I tell my husband that I do not have time to get sick. Anyways, the kids are swimming their summer away. We have a pool in the backyard that I have a hard time keeping Hannah and Daniel out of. I call Hannah my brown bear cause she is so tan. So here are a couple of pictures of them swimming and one of them making playdough with cousin Rachel from California cause they went to swim but it started storming.

Happy 4th of July!

We hope all of you had a great 4th of July. We had a good day as a family. We went to the local parade in the a.m. Then we helped daddy do some of his work. Then we had a camp fire for the first time with the kids and roasted hotdogs and had smores. We had a few fireworks but Nicolas didn't like any of them. There are also a couple of pictures of the kids at the pool. They love to swim and are little brown bears.
