We got to go inside a cave to look and the Rhino. Bryn liked making fingerprints on the window.
The zoo could make lots more money if they rented a saddle for kids to ride this thing, it was huge!
In this huge terrarium we saw turtles, huge pink birds, island chickens and iguanas.
It's Timon! Bryn loved the mere cat, they moved so fast!
We ended the week with a walk down the street. It was so peaceful and relaxing. A lot of energy was flying this week, more than I realized duringbut recapping, I didn't even talk about Jonas' baptism or Grandma's Silver Beaver award. Both very important and wonderful things. Good thing we have memories.
The lack of emotional security of our American young people is due, I believe, to their isolation from the larger family unit. No two people - no mere father and mother - as I have often said, are enough to provide emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and temperament, and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot break if he could, for nature has welded him into it before he was born. ~Pearl S. Buck
Oh, Thank you, for family.
We tried to teach Bryn to color. I'm not sure she is ready yet, but watch out Monet, she'll catch up quick!
Joana was asked to prom by Ernie. Joana found the most beautiful dress, she told me it was way prettier than all the princess dresses they saw in Disneyland last week. And it really is! I know this isn't a great picture, but I just HAD to put it in. Shane is pinning on the boutonniere. Classic!
I
think this was a practice for the dance.
Don't they look awesome!?! They had a great time too, even if she didn't come home by the stroke of 12! ;)
Savannah found some!
Kaedon found some!
Colton had to find one in Quinn's pocket! Tricky, Tricky!
Dallin found a sucker. That's all he needed:)
Camryn is ready to go.
This ended up being one of my favorite pictures. I don't know why, I just think it's cool.
I like this one too.
Can you find the egg hidden in this picture? It took some work to get it up, and some creative thinking to get it down.
I love it when my family gets together. The entire weekend was a blast, lots of friendships renewed, memories made, loves and hugs shared. I'm not sure what could have made it any better.
I suppose it was only fair to show her what was inside the eggs. She loved the sucker, but I didn't open anything else for her (I know, terrible mother).
The Thomson family Easter egg hunt was this weekend, and Bryn was spoiled! She got to find some eggs and had a great time playing with them. I love that she loves the eggs and they don't have to be filled! Don't get me wrong, I love it when kids run around with taffy on their fingers, chocolate on their faces, and a sugar high that could fuel the next expedition to Mars! Ya, I hope she likes the eggs next year too.
