Zoo/Dance/Boy scouts/sports

We've been really busy around here. With me working in the afternoons and everything else we do seems like I don't have enough time in the day to get things done. So because of that I've been a little behind on my blog. My facebook page is a lot faster and I don't have to upload the pictures 1 by 1 so it only takes me about 10 min to do it. Here it takes me about and hour depending on the amount of pics I have. Faith has started her dance and loves it. We are looking forward for her performances. Joey has started Boy Scouts and he loves going every week. And Joshua is in soccer and loves it.

About a week ago we went to the zoo up in Salt Lake City. It is a very big zoo with a lot more animals then they have in Sacramento. They had 7 baby animals too. They had a baby Elephant that was just released for the public to view. I think she was about a few weeks old weighing at birth 251 pounds, a baby Giraffe, snow leopard, crocodile, and 3 tiger cubs. The kids had a blast. The exhibits were a lot different then I've ever seen also. We were in the same room (no windows or cages) with birds and an iguana, And the Giraffe cage had and indoor area (like a barn) that had 2 levels and you were eye to eye with the adult giraffes. It was pretty cool.
