Katie and I went to The
Wild Animal Park a couple of weeks ago with Jaime and her kids. It was really fun! I haven't been for a
long time and it seemed a lot different than I remembered... and man was it
hot! The weather was so weird, it was hot and
sunny, then all of the sudden it would start raining off and on. But we still had
fun! We saw lots of different
animals... lions, tigers, elephants, monkeys, gorillas, and lots of birds!
I have to say that
meerkats are so darn cute! They were one of my favorite animals to watch there. They just dug
holes all day and there was always one on the
look out.
But my most
favorite were the
gorillas. They are awesome! There was one that just loved
pestering the others. He kept going up to them and pulling the hair on their arms. Then he tried messing with
this guy...
He doesn't look too
big sitting down, but once he is up you wouldn't want to be anywhere near him. He is
huge! They were so
funny! I could seriously sit and watch the gorillas
all day long!
There were lots of
elephants too. A few
cute little baby ones, and lots of
big ones!

lions...
The "rally
monkeys"
Jacob dancing to the African
music playing, after playing in the water... he is such a
cutie pie!
The boys were so
funny. Everywhere we went they would all say, "Autumn, take a
picture of us!" When do boys
ever want their pictures taken?
It was such a
hot day... but we all had a
blast!

Foos-ball table...
A water slide...
I love all of their faces... Mia's is the best though:)
Oh... and more cotton candy
They even have a trampoline!
Tammy, Eva and Kylynne liked to hang out in the shade.
I took Jacob on the water slide... I don't think it was his favorite thing there.
This was...
After the the Frazier's block party, we came home and did our fireworks. We had so many! We gave the kids some poppers first, I think they liked those more then the real fireworks.
Then the kids got bored so we let them light some fireworks... they loved doing the smoke balls.
Thank you to the Fraziers for inviting us every year! We had such a great time! The kids got to eat as much sugar as they wanted and run wild in the street! It can't get any better than that!
