Zoo News

It's been awhile since we've done a zoo update so here are some more pix from our favorite tourist attraction!

Dillon found some flamingos and a giraffe to hang out with.

We FINALLY made it onto a bus tour.

Dillon, Quinn and Reece found ANOTHER lion.

Hotel Transylvania 3--Quinn's First Movie

Remember Dillon's first movie with BFF Millie? We decided to take Quinn to see Hotel Transylvania 3. While probably still a little young for a full-length feature, we'd watched the first two at home quite a lot so she knew all the characters. Plus there was A LOT of popcorn.

Spot the Dillon.

A LOT of popcorn!

First Day of School 2018

This year the first day of school was a pretty big deal. Not only did Dillon finally emerge from kindergarten, but Quinn actually joined her on campus at the preschool. We love a single drop-off and pick-up!

Had to get two signs this year!

Good luck hugs.

Showing off her new dress.

Quinny stoically walks to her preschool.

Triple 3 BIrthday

Quinny's two BFFs, Lulu and Reece, have birthday very close to Quinn's so we decided to have a little party for all of them at once. Balloons, cake and most importantly Snack Shack chicken and biscuits for dinner. 🍗😋 (I just realized I can insert emojis.)

Dillon got dressed up...

...but the birthday girls preferred minimal clothing.

Guess how old!

Back deck dance party.

We tie dyed commemorative shirts.

Capitol Reef Road Trip (7)

To wrap up our grand adventure...

...did we mention our car broke down on our way to Capitol Reef? And that we got the last rental car in town? And that it was the beginning of about 500 times moving the car seats from one vehicle to another. Yup, that totally happened.

Very cramped in the back of the tow truck.

Pretending to drive at the auto shop.

We stopped in Las Vegas again--Henderson actually. It was--no surprise--really hot!

A fierce ping pong competition.

Chess for one.

Palm trees a'plenty on the property.

And finally, let us acknowledge how you cannot pass through the California desert without thinking of U2...well played, Bono. Well. Played.
