Hogle Zoo...

Okay, so Tanalyn and I have been talking about taking the kids to the zoo basically all summer. So finally we decided that Friday was the day....no ifs, ands, or you know what about it!!! Well it started raining that morning (just my luck!) but we decided we would head up anyway and see what happens. It actually turned out to be a great day, by the time we got up there it basically stopped raining but it was still overcast so it wasn't too hot! The kids had a blast. Mitch fit right in with the monkey's!!! I loved watching the penguins, they were so cute! Ashlynn just loved being out and about with her friends, she did say she didn't like the black bear because...."its back had dirty stuff on it." Ya thats my child, if you are dirty or you stink then well we really don't want anything to do with you. I'm kidding.....well kind of!!! :)

The day was a success....well that is until we were about 2 miles away from home, that's when a lady ran a stop sign and we t-boned her. It was a pretty scary feeling knowing you are about to hit into another driving car and there is nothing you can do about it. Luckily we were in Tanalyn's suburban or I think it could have been a lot worse. I think Tanalyn and I got the worst of it with a few burns on the arm from the airbags and a couple of bruises. I was just very grateful that all the kids were alright!! If you do ask Mitch about the wreck he says "it loud."

I do have to say Tanalyn, you have got one awesome insurance agent, I mean showing up on the scene and all!! What was that insurance company again...oh ya, American Family, well I guess it does help if you are married to your agent!!!

I am just glad we finally made it up to the zoo, now where are we going next???
