We had a great day together as a family today!! It was fun filled and active!! We started off by going to the zoo, and then went straight to our Stake Pioneer Celebration. Both were loads of fun.
At the zoo, we started off getting a Family Annual Pass, which cost us less than what we would have paid for 2 visits regular price. Now we can go to all of the Holiday events that go on there for Free!! There are Halloween and Christmas events that go on, plus a Radio Disney Back to School Concert the first Saturday in September. We are really excited!!
At the zoo there is a new Oceans Exhibit where you can pet sharks. They are dog sharks that are smaller. There were a couple of sharks that thought they were dolphins!!! Just watch this.....
The kids had a lot of fun petting them!!
We saw Sea Horses...
Nemo is in there somewhere...
Seals...
Marina didn't know what Seals were called so just listen really carefully in this video to what she calls them.
We also saw Polar Bears.
He was so cute!!
This one just kept swimming in circles over and over again...
The kids even got to feed a giraffe!!
This is the baby giraffe that was born last week....It's boy....He measured in at over 6 feet!!
Then we got to see a baby elephant walking around with its "momma and daddy" as Marina would say!
Before we left the zoo, we let the kids cool off in the fun fountains.
Then we headed out for the Pioneer Celebration. This was so much fun. They had good food, especially the homemade pies, and they had really fun games for the kids.
Aspen and Sierra really liked playing on the stilts.
Aspen actually got really good!!
There were rubber band guns...
Bows and arrows...
Marina learned how the pioneers washed clothes.
Aspen and Ryker were good at watermelon spitting.
We even went on a pioneer trek around the park...thanks to dad pulling all the kids!! Whew!!
Then the older three kids, Aspen, Sierra and Ryker, helped their team win tug of war.
Ryker then played a good game of box hockey.
Finally, we ended with a game of Hillbilly golf.
This really was one great day!! We even came home to a fun surprise......
Look what Thomas found in our front yard!
Now the kids are bathed and in bed...a perfect ending to a perfect day!!

Kristina and Alex made one of those hillbilly golf games. They call it ladder golf. We played it at the reunion, it is load of fun. I kicked my siblings butt at that game. I didn't post any pictures because I don't like looking fat on camera ha ha ha:-)
