St. Louis Zoo

I was able to spend a few days with Michael, Lea, and Mazy when I flew in to St. Louis from Salt Lake City last week. We braved the HOT weather and went to the zoo one morning. It really is a wonderful place to go especially with Mazy who, at about 15months old, loved all the animals!


Wish I could go in there and touch him!


These monkeys/chimps were right next to the window eating lunch:)


The penguins were really cute as you can see by Mazy's reaction!


Plus, the exhibit was really cool - literally - the penguins were so cute marching around!



Chillin' with Grandma - I was holding the camera with one hand - not the best shot.

So my travels are over - it was so fun visiting kids and grandkids!!

When I turn the calendar over to August, I will have 12 days until school starts - pffffft!

Jack's Blessing & Visiting in Provo

My "cross country "trip in the Caravan wasn't too bad! I drove 10 hours the first day then 11 hours the second day and made it to Salt Lake where I stopped off at the Church Distribution Center. Then I joined Brian and Megan and her family for dinner at her uncle's house in Alpine, UT. I had never been to Alpine before. My GPS took me over a mountain which turned out to be the scenic route:)

Jack continues to be a very happy baby. One night he slept for 6 hours straight!



Jack is all dressed up and on his way to church for his blessing:)

Brian gave Jack a beautiful blessing on Sunday, July 11, 2010. Also in the circle were Rob, 2 of Megan's uncles, and her brother Brian. Megan's Aunt Angie invited us all to Alpine again for lunch after the blessing.



Claire is always fun. Here she is enjoying Grandpa McEwan's favorite ice cream from the Creamery at BYU:)



Playing peek-a-boo with Grandma at the jungle gym in a park near her new home in Provo

Trying on Grandma's reading glasses:)

Putting on "lips" - Grandma had way too many lip glosses and Claire knew where all of them were.

Going through Grandma's purse - always an adventure!



Today is Saturday already! We went to the Bean Museum and saw all the animals. There was even a reptile show. Then we enjoyed Red Lobster for a late lunch. Yummm...

I love summer vacation!!
