ALVA LIFE

Today was my day off, so we took Katelynn out of preschool and headed to the Dallas Zoo. We have been to the one in Fort Worth several times, but not this one. We had a great time and the kids loved it. Now we are exhausted, but happy to have another family day.

Brennon and I in front of the tortoises. They were huge!
Matt and Katelynn playing around.
The new sting ray exhibit was our favorite! It was just like Sea World where you get to feed them and pet them. Even Katelynn was brave enough to pet them. They were really friendly as you can see. This is how they would take the fish out of your hand. It kind of freaked me out, but Matt loved it.

Katelynn loved the elephants. She is getting so grown up and we are so proud of her that she now knows all her letters and their sounds and is starting to read. (Thanks to Matt, I don't have the patience)

Brennon loved the ottors. They were so close behind the glass.

Brennon is looking so grown up lately even though he is still small for his age. He is such a cutie and waves to anyone he see's.

Labor day a friend I met at school invited us out to her log cabin in the woods. After hearing she had a horse, pony, ducks, sheep, and 5 dogs, I knew we had to go. Katelynn had so much fun and was in heaven being able to ride their pony. She wouldn't even come in to eat dinner all evening.
Our horse princess... riding by herself.
She loved the big horse, Denver too. She would run up to him in the field and pet him and try to feed him. Everyone asked me if she has any fears. Not when it comes to horses.
Brennon also made a friend even though the dog was bigger than him.
