Montgomery Zoo!!

Before I start this post, I would like to say sorry for the lack of posting. Things have been crazy these past few weeks, but here is a fun one to make up for it.
This past weekend we went to Montgomery Alabama and met Zach's cousin Chris and his family at the Zoo. We all love the Zoo, and had so much fun! It was a VERY hot day, but down here they are all hot. They had tents set up along the way that sprayed water to cool you down. Those were a lot of fun for the kids. We saw a ton of great animals, and had a great time visiting with the Tarbets!!
We spent the night in a great hotel and of course went swimming, and made sure we had enough time to go shopping. I miss my Target here, it is like my arm is missing. So, Zach let me go wild and we spent a long time there. Thanks Zach. We had a great Father's Day just hanging out. Zach has been gone for training for the last 2 weeks, so it was REALLY GREAT to see him. We are missing him a ton!!
I would also like to tell Zach, my dad, and Zach's dad thank you for being so great. These are 3 of the greatest men in the world. I could never imagine a better father for my children. He is just what I would have ordered if I could. My kids also have the greatest grandpa's ever. They all love to go to Idaho and spend the entire time outside on the farm or the ranch just following our dads around. I love you all, and I am so thankful for the great guys in my life!!!!

Take a look at the slideshow. I took a million pictures, but the animals were so close that the pictures were great. Enjoy!!

Hi Rikki,
Ahhh Montgomery Zoo in the summer! So stinkin' hot! It is a really nice zoo though. I took the kids there last August. I'm glad that you had fun. I'll give you a call soon. I have to find your number again. I've packed up a lot of stuff. If I can't find it fast then I'll e-mail you for it.

I don't believe it - my friend Rikki would not take all those pictures in one setting! I don't even know you anymore! We MUST get together when you are out here!

What a cute family you have! I can't believe how you all have grown up - with families of your own! Wow where does the time go? It is so fun having Lexie and family here! Thanks for being such a great friend to her! Penny

Sounds like a great day! The pictures are so fun! I wish we had a zoo closer to us here. I guess there is always Repitle Gardens....

Hey, Mary and I were talking and I think you might be nearby my sister that lives in Mississippi. Where are you at? She lives in Clinton which I am pretty sure is just outside of Jackson.
