Growing Everyday

The Zoo here has Komodo dragons on display for a limited time. Jared loves Komodo dragons. I don’t know how many TV specials he has sat though about them. When he heard they were going to be at the zoo, he just had to go. So Andrew and I packed them up and took them to the zoo.

The baby elephant and bear were especially cute and had some funny antics. The kids really enjoy the rhino exhibit, but you will have to ask them about that. We were able to pet sharks and watch penguins dive into the water. There is one really huge walrus there. We had a great afternoon just hanging out as a family.

The family took a trip to Peoria last weekend to visit friends there and to celebrate RCC’s new building opening. We got to do a nice long visit with Rose and Mel. It was wonderful to see them and to get spoiled. We also got some decent Chinese food. Beka and Jared loved playing in the pool at the hotel and visiting a friend and her rats. Jared was excited that the rats wanted to keep playing with him. Beka just wanted to see her friend.

RCC’s building is amazing. It was so nice to see everyone again and feel like a part of the family. The building already looks full. I was so amazed at how smoothly everything was running after only three weeks in the building. It was a wonderful little vacation.
