fun in the sun...

what do you do when your husband is sans school and work for 2 days in a row?

well, play of course!

thursday evening we met up with Kirk's sister Cara and her husbands family 

for a special night for Zoo Members. (yes, we are members... aka "Zoo Nerds")

it was the perfect way to see the new Rocky Shores exhibit. 

there were hardly any people and it was 10 degrees cooler than it had been earlier that day.

this peacock had a bit of an ego.

cambry... cara's niece.

the kids got their faces painted and the artwork was incredible.

we LOVED the new exhibit.

i think we sat and starred at these bears for an hour.

and then Friday we headed up to Willard Bay

to take out the Stephens boat.

we were so lucky to have

cute Jaime, Chris, and little Lola bean join us.

i adore this cute family!

little Lo had her "turtles" on and didn't waste a minute jumping in the water with me.

she was the BEST sport.

she even braved the tube with her daddy...

and who is THAT sexy beast?

oh, he's mine?

lucky me!
