"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Fall Break

We were tempted to head up to Pinedale for Fall Break this year, but Court had a few appointments in town so we decided we could stay busy here!

We ended up at the zoo---two days in a row. Crazy, I know. On Tuesday we went for for fun and then we were talking about how Court had an interview on Wednesday in the same area, and we decided to have him drop us off at the zoo while he did his interview. Worked out great. We have a zoo membership, and it came with some free safari tickets, so we finally took a ride on the train!!!

Of course the kids stayed COMPLETELY glued to their maps as usual. Such nerds---where do they get it from????

But by far, the most fun for all was at the petting zoo. Who knew that Waverly would love the goats so much???

What are my children doing to that poor cow????

This shot is actually from the 2nd day, but this was one of the first times that we were at the zoo in the morning. (I personally like to wait til after lunchtime) And for ONCE the elephant was out and about. (as were most of the animals Ü)

Of course we ended both days at the splash pad, which I have to say is the smartest 'exhibit' that the zoo has EVER added. No pictures....
