Trip to the Zoo

Nothing better than a trip to the zoo, especially if the weather is cool, the zoo is practically empty, and the animals are actually moving around doing something! We got to see a giraffe drink water, and that is really something to behold since they have to spread their legs WIDE for their head to reach the ground. We saw a peacock up close and personal since it was just wandering around the zoo as if it owned the place. We saw kangaroo walking around on all fours---absolutely ridiculous looking, and then take off jumping--equally funny. All in all we had a wonderful day.

What mighty ancient civilization built this structure?

Which way does the map tell us to go?

All aboard!

Personal Progress!

Adelynn was awarded her personal progress medallion on May 1, 2010. When she first began the Young Women's program she set the goal to finish before she turned 14. She is the first in our ward to finish the program as a beehive! Will and I are super proud of her, and as a special award we told her we would take her on a trip to Washington DC!

The stake held a special brunch for all the girls who had earned their medallion. Here are some pictures of the event.

This picture doesn't really do it justice, but you can see displayed the nativity that Adelynn made from drift wood. It is the cutiest thing ever!
