July 24th

We went to Hogle Zoo to celebrate Pioneer Day. We got there early enough that it was cool enough to have a good time. Mackenzie really liked the animals and Brooklyn really liked to eat her snacks in the stroller. I had fun because it was my first time at Hogle Zoo (which I thought was pretty nice) and Robert had fun because he wanted to be a zookeeper when he was younger (like high school age).

We're back from our wonderful vacation to Twin Lakes, Fallon, and San Diego. After the 4th of July weekend Robert came back to work in Utah and the girls and I went to Fallon. We got to relax and play with grandma and grandpa, go to the lake, see family and friends, etc. Then we flew to San Diego to visit my brother and see his new little girl. It was fun to see where they live before they move to Fallon. As always, though, it's nice to be home to Daddy and home where the girls can get back on schedule and not be quite so crabby :)

There is no better way to celebrate the 4th of July than at Twin Lakes. Here's Robert and Kenzie at the parade in Bridgeport, CA. This parade isn't exactly going to win any awards but we're happy with a few pieces of candy and an icecream from Jolly Cone afterwards.

Brookie waved this American flag like she'd been doing it all her life.

We had a great time with family at the cabin, which goes without saying when there's kayaking, biking, card games, and good food.
