Weekends

I forgot how much I take weekends for granted until I have a summer off and have to return to school.  My first weekend after the first week of school was an instant reminder to me of how much I need to just appreciate what little family time we have during the school year.  Life is CRAZY right now, so it was nice to just spend a couple hours hanging out together at the zoo not worrying about where we had to be, what we had to get done, etc.  This is our afternoon in pictures:

The petting zoo--it grosses me out!

Love my girls!

When did she turn 13?!?

Enjoying our awesome aquarium

Conquering the bridge in the jungle.  She and I had never been able to cross it before for fear of it.  It's this hanging bridge in the jungle of our zoo.  It's also wet due to the waterfall behind it.  Really cool, but really scary.  We did it though!

Just swining in the jungle

Getting ready to head home.  Lainey had done all the walking she could do!

Hooray for weekends and time together!
