Fun Pics and the Zoo

This was the zoo, shea would not leave until she touched the cow.

I thought this baby gorilla was so stinking cute!

We also stopped by the washington dc temple. It was so cool, your driving on the freeway and then all of a sudden it's there looking like its just sitting on a forest of trees.

cade and shea's fort. I get so much crap here when she wears this shirt because everyone is a die hard phillies fan... come on people, it's just a shirt.

Let me explain... Braden thinks his shirt will fall in the toilet every time he goes number 2, so you can see how he solved that problem. Then, he refuses to shut the door because he feels trapped. And apparently he takes so long to do his business that he needs a book to help pass the time??!!

Labor Day Weekend

There is supposed to be really good fishing ponds all over DE like this one and so we spent a couple days trying them out with our new gear. The boys had a blast and Chad spent the whole time doing the dad thing and untangling, unhooking, and fixing poles.
Shea was not a fan of fishing and spent most of the time doing the chick thing and eating snacks. The worms apparently were the most disgusting thing she had ever seen.


The fish were small little bass and sun fish but they didn't care, as long as they caught a lot of them.

We took a fun little train ride on an old track and it dropped you off half way to eat lunch at a spot with a stream and then back.
The scariest part about the trip was Braden stepped on a wasp hive and we didn't realize until we saw him on the ground with hundreds of wasps attacking him and he was screaming. Chad ran and grabbed him and got them all off and I ran the other two kids away but not before braden had about 10-15 stings, chad had 10 stings and I got away with only 1. Poor kid, at least he's not allergic, he just came away with a life time phobia of wasps.
