We were stuck in Mesa for Fall Break this year. We still managed to have tons of fun. We spent lots of time with cousins and even had Grandma Garner come to visit from Kansas. We had a great outing to the zoo with Jones cousins. Here is little Ivy on her little legs. She loved walking everywhere.
I am not really into taking pictures of animals except of the human variety. I got a whole group of crazy animals in this picture.
Little mermaids. Always ready for a pictures. Annie, Clara, and Susanna
Then they included little Betsy and Eliza.
The boys couldn't be left out and all picked their own poses. Charlie loved the oranguntan (did I spell that right)
Nathan is the giant tortoise.
Jack wanted to be the crocodile hunter. He tamed this crocodile no problem.
They have this "little people" park by the farm. Eliza loved it. She actually loved every minute of the zoo (partly because she was with Betsy) and didn't want to go home.
This is Annie and Clara after a sleepover. (and if you ask me and Lisa it will be the last one). These little turkeys who are only 6 and 7 years old stayed up all night. I checked on them at 2:30 but couldn't believe they never slept. They were slightly grumpy the next day.
AND...we got a pool table over fall break. My friend remodeled her kitchen and didn't have room for this pool table anymore. We've never been able to afford one but couldn't resist this price (free, thanks Susan and Scott). Clint and the kids have had so much fun every day and night. I have even had some fun. I don't love that my one room that was always clean is no longer clean all the time but it will make for some happy memories.
