 As you can tell Tanner didn't want to sit still for the picture, unlike Kenzie she wanted her picture by everything.
 Ugly!!
 Milking the cow (good thing it was a fake cow, not sure a real one would like 3 kids milking it at the same time!)
 Petting the goat
 Turtle
 Kangaroo
 Feeding the birds
 Aunt Beth is afraid of birds so I took the kids inside so they could feed the birds.

 Taking a ride


We had a great time!  It really tired the kids out!

 The girls couldn't figure out how those kids got in the tubes, we told them we didn't know either!
Ben tired out from all the excitement!
We had a great day and saw lots of animals.  We had great weather and the kids all had fun!  All of them fell asleep on the ride home.

11 months old!

 Benny turned 11 months old on July 24, 2012!  He is getting so big!  He is starting to talk more and can crawl so fast even though it is still army crawling!  He doesn't like to sit still!

So Big!!

Playdate at Partridge Creek

 We had a playdate with Kenzie's friend from preschool, Kaylee on July 24, 2012.
We went to the Mall at Partridge Creek to play in the fountains!

 Kaylee's sister Erin
 They also have a play area for the kids!
Ben came too, although he couldn't play on anything!
He still had fun!
