First Trip To The Zoo

On Saturday we took Cassi to the Zoo for her first real "wildlife" experience. We went with our buds Tracy and Brian and Cassi's friend Dallin. It was a lot of fun to see the kids reactions to all the animals. Cassi's favorite were the monkeys. They were a ton more fun to watch than Tiger, her kitty, usually is! It was fun to hang out with some good friends and let Cassi play.






The weirdest part of the Zoo experience was this thing they called a white Alligator. We saw it when we first came in and then went back right before we left. The dang thing hadn't moved at all and looked like a lump of plastic. We're convinced that the whole thing is a hoax and that it really is just a plastic Alligator! Yup. We should go get our money back... Oh well. At least we got some really good pictures! The freakiest part was the cougar. It almost stalked back and forth looking and Cassi and Dallin with a very hungry I-can-so-fit-those-in-my-mouth look. Good thing for those fences!

Moab

We took advantage of some of the last good weather of this year and went camping with a friend from Chris' work and his family. The boys had a blast on the slick rock trail and the girls took the kids hiking.









It was a lot of fun. Cassi loves to camp. Not only does she get to sleep between mom an dad, but she gets to go hiking and play with all kinds of dirt!












When the boys got back, we did some more hiking around Moab and Cassi even did some rock climbing!!!

More Halloween Fun

For Halloween, Chris, Cassi and I all went with Chris' family and some friends of ours, Christina, Jeff and their little girl Sara, to the Corn Maze that Pat, Chris' little brother, was working at. It was really cute! They had all kinds of things for kids from pig races to slides. Chris and I took Cassi on her first slide ride and she loved it!



After playing for a little while, we decided to try our luck in the corn maze. The boys did pretty good at keeping us from getting totally lost in the maze. Towards the end though, Cassi was cold, hungry and done. We finished the first part of the maze and decided to skip the second. We headed back to our place with Jeff, Christina and Sara and spent the rest of the Halloween night watching the Office. Not really a scary movie but I'm not a horror buff :) All in all, Cassi had a blast on her first Halloween!
