No Fry Day

We woke up early (thanks to Cassie) and headed to Hogle Zoo to see their new Zoorasic Park exhibits and found much more than we expected.  The Utah Museum of Natural History has 13 robotic dinosaurs set up at the zoo that we wanted the kids to see but when we got there though there was a whole lot of something going on that caught us by surprise.  We got cheese sticks from the radio station, chapstick and bracelets from sunscreen experts (they also let us know that the sunscreen we've been using for years is no good), we got tribal patterns painted on our faces with colorful zinc oxide and each of the kids got to draw a picture on a t-shirt.  All of that on top of the dinosaurs made for a super fun day. 

Graduation Day

Yeah, it's summer!  Well at least for one of us; Joey graduated from Kindergarten a week before the rest of us finish school.  He was super excited for us to see his graduation but because it was done in the middle of the day not everyone could be there.  It's okay, Dad recorded it and we all got to have a special graduation night with ice cream to top it off.  Joey's teacher said that he was energetic and out going with bit of monkey business mixed in to keep things interesting and that he was a quiet comic that often provides a fun diversion for his friends.  Basically; he is a sneaky, off task class clown that gets everyone riled up.  We are very proud of him and are excited for him to start the dual immersion program next year.

U2 Concert

When I called Bryce to tell him that I had won U2 tickets he was almost giddy, in fact when I got home from school he even asked to "caress them".  It was an amazing concert and an amazing night.  As a matter of fact it was our first real date in four years.  It was a great way to break that stretch and it came just in time for our tenth anniversary.  We are super greatful for a great boss who gave us the opportunity to have such a wonderful night. 

Growing Up

Anna had a great birthday!  She chose to go to the children't museum which was a lot of fun for everyone.  She is now nine and growing up way to fast in Mom and Dad's opinion.  She is such a fun loving little girl who loves the outdoors and reading.  She is an eccentric kid who we lovingly call "quirky". 

Feeding the Geese

When Lisa got home Thursday night we all decided to take Friday off to have some fun.  But, when it came down to it Anna couldn't bring herself to miss a day of school.  We didn't let it hold us back though.  We took a nice walk around Decker Lake and then fed the geese.  They were a bit forceful but that didn't scare off Cassie, she kept trying to catch one!  We came home sunburned and happy.
