Kellie and Randy headed back to work this morning, for a typical Monday and Frank and I packed the kids up and headed to the most local of the local zoo's. we didnt have the highest of expectations given that we are in a super small town, but the zoo was actually very nice. it was very clean, very hands on. there was a good variety of animals and the kids loved the playground!
a baby chimp, born this spring! he was super cute and super playful!
a pelican, the boys asked him if he knew where Nemo was!
a bald eagle - they are just so gorgeous! such a strong american symbol...
tuscan was trying to see how close he could actually get to the peacock! they were roaming around everywhere!
my boys, they all looked so cute today! im not quite sure when it was that they all became so grown up,
but this summer they sure have turned into little men!
we finished up at the zoo just in time for kellie to take her lunch break. she met us at Sonic, a first for frank and the kids and i. super delish - wish we had one in the Buff...we have the commercials, but we're still lacking in the actual establishment!
the kids also had a blast playing on the play ground there.
we spent the remained of the afternoon hanging out around the house. we had hotdogs and burgers on the grill for dinner and then kellie and i snuck out for some well overdo girl time together. we went out to wander the mall for a bit and got pedicures (a tradition for us), had ice cream and starbucks and wandered through target...just like the good ol' days.
its so wonderful to be here, to be spending time with my other other half. there was a moment on the drive down that i was relishing in the excitement of where i was actually driving to when it suddenly hit me that in a week i would be saying good-bye. before i was even half way here, i was crying that i would have to leave. as much as i hate that we live so far away from each other, i am so beyond grateful that we can see each other once a year and pick up right where we left off, as if it had only been a week that had passed.
kellie and i are so blessed to have become friends and to have held on the our friendship over the miles over the years. i cannot imagine my life without her, she is my rock in so many ways. i love her, my kids love her, our husbands love each other! God so had a plan when he brought the two of us together and i truly feel in my heart that it was definitely a life long plan!
now to rest up for another action packed, fun filled day! (only after a teams game of Wii bowling...kellie and i are going to kick butt...)

can you believe that we wandered target AND the mall and came home empty handed?! thats just not right....
I can't believe how big they're each getting -- looking forward to seeing you all soon!! Dylon is very excited about all the "boys" that will be at the Denver Zoo next weekend -- hope it works out to do so!
