**********************************************************************************

Another nice day we went to Randy and Krissy's house to fly kites and play with all kind of toys.
Playing with toys before heading out. They couldn't wait!
What kind of toy is this one and what does it do? Uncle Randy had a big bag of tricks!
We went to the grassy area by there house to run.
Run Mike. Keep running; the wind had slowed down so to keep the kite up we just would run, run and run!
Grandma and Monique
The girls just hanging out.
Uncle Randy can we open this big one?
Run Randy, a big dragon is behind you!
Alex is pretty good at flying kits now.
A happy little boy.
Monique on the other hand is not ready to fly on her own. She lets go and the kit keeps going.
Grandpa was getting in on the fun too.
A plane got stuck in the tree. With team work the boys got it down.

Alex's School Zoo Trip

Alex had his first field trip to the Wildlife Zoo last week.

Checking out the shark.

And then white alligator. This thing didn't move just stared right at Alex!

Monique loved the little prairie dogs.

We liked being on this side of the fence, because when we were inside...

the baby dear was eating his sweater.

Saw some big turtles

It was the perfect day for the zoo. It was a little cool in the morning then turned really nice. And not crowded at all!

We saw little kangaroos.


The boys just walking along checking thing out.

Monique wondering were are all the girls.

Alex and his friend Matt listing carefully to the instructions on how to feed the birds.

Alex didn't want to to feed the birds but liked watching everyone else feeding them.

Monique didn't like the birds landing on her head.

I got a picture of one on my head!

Alex telling the monkey "I am watching you"

Checking out the giraffe

We played on the playground for a little bit before heading home.




And they didn't make it home!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Tio Marvin! Yesterday was his birthday so Tia Becky brought a cake over so we could sing to him!! Tia didn't know we just had birthday cake....

for David's birthday today. Happy Birthday David! We sang and had cake for him yesterday and sent him the video so he would get it on his birthday, since he is a day ahead of us somewhere in the middle of the ocean. Sorry if it a little confusing...it makes sense to me. :)
