~A THURSDAY~

No Week in Review for today, again we didn't do much exciting.
We went shopping at Old Navy and since my brother was with us, he watched the kid while Josh and I went out to eat=)
Tomorrow I will have fun pictures of the Children's Museum!!

Today all I have to look forward to is laundry. I need to start packing, we are going to my Uncles house next week to watch his 3 boys.

We are driving for a few hours and then getting on a plane!
That's right my kids first airplane ride!!!
Next Tuesday!
I am scared, though, even though I have flown.
Pray for no hijackers, okay=)

Talk to you all soon!

Oh and please don't mind my paid posts, I only do it because they are worth $$...real $$!!!

~Vegas~

I have never been there but, I hear Las Vegas is a great place to visit.
I am not all into gambling, but I think I might like the energy there.
We gambled once in Niagara Falls, responsibly though.
We only spent $20, and play the slots for a few hours, it was just fun to try it once.

My parents are planning a trip in the Fall to Las Vegas.

My aunt's neighbors went for a trip and decided to never come home.
They loved it so much they bought a place and decided to live there.
They sent a moving truck for all of their belongings and are currently trying to sell their house here in Ohio.

I hope my parents won't need this website but in case they do:

Highrise condos

A great place to check out if they to decide they like it so much they don't want to come home.
They could afford this place when they hit the jackpot!!

A Week in Review ::Tuesday::

Tuesday

We got up and decided that this would be the best weather day to venture to the zoo.
We were right!
It was mid 50's and the sun was shinning bright.
We only had to wear sweatshirts to be comfortable.

The Indianapolis Zoo is BEAUTIFUL!
They have so many thing our zoo is lacking.

Our first encounter was with the walruses.


And an encounter they were!


The biggest one, Brutus, weighed 2.5 tons and stood 12 feet tall. He was quite a character, whistling to us and patting himself on the back. I could have stood there all day long.



I just love this picture of the little one!



Captured the bubbles and all!



This picture shows how interactive they were, they would nuzzle the glass when you pet them and give kisses...Oh how I miss these guys.

We went to see them twice, we just couldn't get enough!

We had 2 other favorite exhibits:

The Dolphin Dome

Check out the link for better pictures, my camera is far from good.
This is the best one.



You can see a few dolphins in the background

The Desert Dome was our other favorite.
If you have cable I am sure you have seen Meerkat Mansion, I think that is what it is called anyway.
So the kids were very excited to see Meerkats up close.



These guys were hilarious, they sat like this and stared at the ceiling for like 5 minutes, I couldn't stop laughing.



This picture is neat becasue, it is of a meerkat in an underground tunnel, but if you look close you can see my eyes and nose in the reflection on the left and ethan looking at something else in the reflection on the right. (You might have to click to make it bigger) And the little meerkat face is really cute!

Here are some random shots that I thought turned out really nice, even though I hate my camera!








If you ever go to Indiana the Indianapolis Zoo is a MUST!!
