A Day with My Animals



During Memorial Day weekend we finally got a chance to do something as a family. We decided to go up to Columbia, SC and go to the Riverbanks Zoo. What a great time we had. It was a little warm, but not unbearable. The kids had a great time. The girls got to feed the Giraffs, the Lorakeets (its a bird)and the livestock. They loved all the animals, but I think the giant tortiuse was their favorite. It came right up to the fence in front of them. They just stared at each other. They also got to ride the carosel. It was a great day as a family. We enjoyed a wonderful picinic lunch together as well. Charlie even had a good time. He enjoyed the sites from his shaded stroller (wish someone would have pushed me around all day). With all the walking and pushing of the stroller I didn't feel so guilty when we got ice cream. It was a perfect day as a family. I only wish we could have more days like it.

Memorial Day weekend also marked the end of Jason's active duty service. We are thankful for the time we had in the Army, but are glad to be starting a new adventure. Jason is loving his civilian job and I am loving his hours and his pay. It wonderful to have him home more and he is such a happier person. Things are going great for us. We are now getting ready for his Sean's (Jason's Brother)wedding. The girls can't wait to be flower girls. We are looking forward to seeing everyone and showing off our new baby (when he finally arrives). Now eveyone is up to speed. Sorry I have been so bad about keeping everyone updated. I will try to do better.
