first trip to the zoo

When Larry and Donna were in town visiting, we made it to the zoo Saturday afternoon.  Most of the animals were really active because it was cool.  So glad to be able to spend time at the zoo again!

what's a trip to our zoo without "driving" the truck in the cat house?

There was a lot of cool, new stuff that was added.  However, apparently it was too cold in Des Moines that day for the animals from Africa to be out...so we are still waiting to meet those rhinos!

Becky had a church music program on Mother's Day.  She did a great job.  So proud!

They sang Noah's Arky Arky.  Love that song!  Brings back good memories!

Here is our gorgeous peacock

And finally a family picture by the trees in our front yard.  They were so pretty and fragrant!

Thanks, Larry and Donna for spending time with us over Mother's Day weekend.  We had a great time.  The kids love having you visit us, and so do we!
