We love the zoo!



We finally took Carly for her first trip to the zoo, but not just the zoo, the World Famous San Diego Zoo!! Wahoooooo! The gorillas were our favorite. The one in the picture was quite the showman and even pounded his chest and the glass for everyones' beneifit! I was quite glad the glass was so thick!


Brandon's favorite animals were the hippos! He was fascinated by the way they sat under the water and would just stick their nostrils above the water when they needed air. All the hippos needed was a 42" flat screen TV and they would be set!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our day. We also got a video of Carly saying "Roar!" at the lions' den but all my attempts to upload it didn't work. So I'll keep trying and maybe it will be up in the future.
For those of you who want to know, we had a lovely Thanksgiving with the Jergensen family and we hope that everyone enjoyed their holiday. We are looking forward to Christmas and seeing family and friends and all the wonderful celebrations!

Looks like fun! Hey, I came found this quote on someone's blog and it broght back fond memories of when you guys MADE us go to the Maryland State Fair with you, just to get Fair food. Haha... we haven't been back.
"If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty." --Jeff Foxworthy

We miss you guys!

We miss the SD Zoo! But our family passes don't expire until May, so we are going to go to the Zoo when we are in Irvine for Christmas.

We are planning to go sometime between Christmas and New Year's. Wanna come?

We are also planning on going to Sea World some time too, because those passes expire on Dec. 31.
