The Zoo and a Movie


Last Saturday we spent the morning at the zoo. It's been about 6 months since we've been and it is amazing at how different the twins are now compared to the last time we went. We told them a few days before that we were going and all they did for two days was ask when we're going to the zoo. When we arrived at the zoo they knew exactly what they wanted to see ... Lions ... Zebras ... Elephants ... Monkeys ... and Bears.


After the zoo we took the kids to the mall to eat lunch at the food court and then decided to try our chances with the twins at the movies. They'll sit through a movie at home, but we didn't know if they would make it at the theater. We figured that if we went to the dollar movies and had to leave early, then that wouldn't be a big deal. We decided on the new Night at the Museum movie and to our surprise the twins lasted the entire movie.


What a fun family day!!!

Our New First Class Scout

David just earned his 1st Class Scout Award with the Eleven-Year-Old scouts. He's worked really hard the past few months to earn this award. He also earned his Reading and Citizenship in the World merit badges. His next merit badges will be Swimming, First Aid, Emergency Preparedness and Music. He also has his eye on Sports since he's been playing basketball with the YMCA league. His goal is to earn his Star Scout award before he's 12. Ultimately, he wants to earn his Eagle way before his Dad did at 16 years old. He wants to do it before he's 14. This competitive edge with himself will help him go a long way in life.
We are so proud of David!!!
