Zoo

No matter how much excitement this week could have brought, it would have undoubtedly been less full than the week before.  Our kitchen is making progress.  We now have some cabinets, but due to a last minute change on our part we will now be without a functioning kitchen for another week and a half.  It's not been easy not having a sink and dishwasher, but we have been enjoying restaurant food and eating on paper products.  We are choosing to enjoy this time, but looking forward to home cooked meals again soon.

Saturday was soccer and the zoo. I don't make it to the zoo very often and it works out very well that Jill and the kids go to the zoo once or twice a year.  This Saturday I went along because Dr. Heiner, our in vitro doctor, had his annual bash at the zoo.  We love to go and enjoy saying hello to him. 

His office provided entry to the zoo and cookies and ice cream cones.  All of the children loved it.

Sunday was the temple dedication of the Brigham City Temple.  All church meetings were canceled and everyone could go to one of three dedications at their local stake center.  Kids over 8 years old could go, so Logan just missed the cutoff.  We swapped kids with the new neighbors and we watched their 3 girls in the morning while they attended the meeting.  They are cute girls and our boys are old enough to be a bit bashful in front of girls.  They asked the girls, "Do you like ninjas?"  The girls responded "no."  Boys: "Do you like video games with fighting?"  Girls: "no."  Boys: "Do you like Legos?"  Girls "no."  Boys (with a frustrated and angry tone): "What do you like to do then?"  Jill had prepared a lesson and we played a board game.  They went outside and jumped on the trampoline and had a good time.

Jill and I attended the noon session and came back to the boys doing crafts with the girls and having a great time.  It's funny how boys and girls are different.  It doesn't change very much as we get older, either.  After all Jill still doesn't like Legos or ninjas or video games where you fight.
