First days of school, a Camel and The narrows

Here is Our Andrew boy on his first day of FIRST grade- when did he get so BIG?
 He was LOVING his Angry Birds shirt and Mario backpack!
 Mallory started Kindergarten the next day! She was HELLO KITTY from head to toe- Including panties!
 Granny bought her this backpack and she is in LOVE with it!
 After only a few days a school the kids had a 4 day weekend. We've had our zoo pass for almost 3 years now and for approximately 3 years the kids have been asking to ride the Camels- and I would reply "mommy doesn't ride camels you will have to wait for a time when daddy comes with us!" So since it was the LAST DAY until our zoo pass expired we went and daddy rode the camels with the kids!
 And we fed the Buggies! We saw our favorite animals the Elephants, polar bears, and sharks. Then we watched the show for the 105th time! I am going to miss going to the zoo all the time...
 Around our house we are trying to make some healthier lifestyle changes, and becoming a more active family. So Monday we drove over to the Narrows bridge and walked over and back- from where we parked it ended up being a 3 mile walk- with some monstrous hills! The kids did REALLY well, we are going on another family walk this weekend- stay tuned to find out where!
