Zoo Trip, Zoo Trip, Zoo Trip!!

Every time I see someone holding a baby I have a moment of thought were I just think "I want oneee!!!" Then right after that I have a moment of panic where I think "What the hell am I thinking I could not handle that!"

Well today, I learned for sure that I could in no way shape or form handle a child right now.

Cori and I decided to take my 4 and 5 year old cousins Bryce and Livi Jean to the zoo. This was a serious adventure! It was so much fun, but it involved waking up at 9 to get ready, going to pick up both kids, driving to Seattle, then wandering the zoo for like 3 hours, going back and forth to the same things like 4 times, trying to convince both of them that the fake dinosaurs wouldn't hurt them, etc. etc.
Don't get me wrong, I loved today. It was so so so much fun! I love those kids to death.... But I came home at about 6, completely drained and exhausted and basically just ready for a really long nap. I don't know how parents handle being parents, but I have soo much more respect for them after today! Kids are a handful. Anyway here are some pictures from out adventures today. Enjoy! :)

          
 Heading to the zoo! It was raining and Bryce thought he would get wet in the car....                                        
         

We gave sooo many shoulder rides today!

       
 One of the many adventures at the penguins. Livi Jean got to hold a penguin egg, and she was a mermaid!

    
Dinosaur exhibit! They were both terrified at first.. 
 This is probably my favorite picture of the day even though it's washed out...

    
Merry-Go-Round! Bryce and I decided to make faces...
 The blow dryer provided a lot of entertainment....

        
 Last adventure that the penguins! Good way to finish off the dayy!


It is said the average person speaks only 10 minutes a day

This is Me Remebering I Have a Blog

Until about 10 minutes ago when my cousin posted a blog, I had totally forgotten then I even had a blog. Everything has been kinda crazy for awhile, hence the forgetfulness.
Quick update- I AM NOW GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL! :) :)

It's kinda an awesome feeling.
Annnnnnnnd prom was amazing! I am extremely glad I went.



Summer has now started, and we have only had like 3 sunny days. It makes me sad. The sun really needs to come out again!
I really don't have a lot to say right now, but these are some bonfire pictures from Mom and Micah's birthday party.
 
 
 
 

 P.S. I promise you were are not high, or drunk, even though it kinda looks like it hahha. It was just reallly really early in the morning.
