Drs & The Zoo~

Remember our Joy Jar?
We have added money to it for a couple of months and decided since we had a combination of Will's birthday and Payne's dr appts, maybe we would have enough for a big outing.
The kids spent a day counting, and we had $125!!!

 We talked and decided we would go to Zoo Atlanta so after a GREAT report from Payne's SB specialists and lunch at the Varsity~

We hit the zoo about 12:30 right about the time all the buses were leaving with all the field trip kids~

We had the zoo to ourselves and got to see every single animal without fighting the crowds~

The elephants and Reptile House were the favorites~

It was fun to see how well they followed the map and made sure we saw every! single! thing!!!~

Look at my little baby birds in the nest~

We were SO excited to make it the Panda exhibit but Calla had fallen asleep by then~

They were SO excited to ride the carrousel and the train too~

We finished off a perfect day playing on the playground~

and seeing the flamingos one more time~

We even bought a book and panda for our nature shelf!
It was the best family day ever and LOVE doing life with these amazing kids!!!!!

AND if you live in Ga, you can check out a video about the history of the zoo
and get a voucher for 4 free tickets.
It sure helps a big family like our's!!!

The Atlanta Zoo~

CCAI families met at the Atlanta Zoo for a reunion and to visit with Josh and Lily.

We loved hanging out with our social worker Heather~

 We adopted EK with CCAI way back in 2006 and they have written 3 of our home studies.

Loved seeing Lily again and visiting all the animals with Kristin and her family~

 The icing on the cake was stopping by to see BC, Savannah, and Josh~

Loved this day so much!!!
