Friday we went to the Bean Museum at BYU. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera so we have no pics of this expedition. The kids LOVED the museum. It is a pretty cool place. They have lots of lions and bears and all kinds of cool animals. Matthew kept pointing and saying, "whoah!"
Saturday, we first went to Lowe's and that was not fun, then mom and I took the kids out to lunch at Macaroni Grill! They were pretty good, all things considering. We kept them at bay, mostly because we used the zoo as a bargaining chip.
After that, we drove up to Hogle Zoo and spent about an hour and a half there. Perfect time, really. I have an annual pass to the zoo so we don't need to go and spend all day there. Ben broke our double stroller by trying to pop a wheely with it a few months back and the kids broke our umbrella stroller playing at the park, so we went WITHOUT a stroller! We opted not to rent one too because we were only planning to be there for an hour. Matthew was our best trooper and he's the smallest. The zoo is very hilly and he walked almost the entire time! Andrew and Elise pooped out on us at the very end when we made our trek up a giant hill to the entrance. The kids were so tired! It was great! Matthew went straight to sleep in the car!
Sat night, Mom, Jeff and I went to dinner at this new Irish restaurant, then we went to the movie. We saw Nim's Island. Great film! It was not what I had pictured it would be. I liked it better than I thought I would.
And, finally, Sunday, mom went to church with me to help me in sacrament since Ben was still out of town.
We had a great time! I wish I lived closer to my whole family so we could do more fun things together.

At the Elephant exhibit!
The Elephant -- They were roaming all around in their exhibit area. This one went to the pond and drank some water. It was cool to see it suck up the water with its trunk and driink!
