Zoo Field Trip











On Monday we went with Tuck's Alpine Online Homeschool group to the Hogle Zoo for one last field trip. Brett took the day off and came with which was nice to have the help chasing the kids down. Luka ran from animal to animal, enjoying her walking freedom. She also was the map queen. Which way to the elephants Luka? We all had a lot of fun, although Luka definitly had the most fun. It is a good thing she wore her tutu because she danced and skipped all over the zoo. I've never wished more that my camera had video. We all headed to Ikea for lunch, yum! Then it was back to work. We moved more stuff from the storage unit back to the house for the rest of the day. I feel like we HAVE moved since we moved so much to storage and then now have to move it back. I have to say it, backing out of your contract to buy a house 2 1/2 weeks before you're supposed to move in is just downright rude! Next time no contract will be signed unless we have the earnest money. Selling by owner twice before was such smooth sailing that we just were a little too trusting. All well - "C'est la vie!"

It looks like you have had alot of fun. I missed you at the 5k. Start making plans for next year. Can't wait to see you guys in 2 weeks. Sorry to hear about your house. For some reason things just seem to work out even when we don't think they are. Em

Brett is one of few people who make a gorilla look tiny.
Love you!
