Family Day

Saturday Brandon and I had a wonderful family outing. Both of our girls, Lexie and Shaelana, along with Brandon's parents, Ruth and Chuck, accompanied us to the Reid Park Zoo here in Tucson. We explored the animals, enjoyed treats, detested the scorching heat, and encountered an angry and threatening bird among the aviary (seriously - he was psychotic and in complete attack mode!) Later, we went out to eat at a local 50's diner, Little Anthony's, where we enjoyed fabulous burgers and shakes, and a fun family atmosphere. It was a great day and we loved having our family together!

O my gosh, those were the cutest dang pictures ever. You guys have a beautiful family and two girls to worry about in about 10-15 years. Don't you love Reid Park Zoo? It's my favorite. Talk to you soon-

I love the Tucson Zoo. It looks like you had a great time. It is always so much fun to just get out and be with family. We need to all meet at the zoo before you leave!

So I am always looking for cool, cheap, fun family events! I found this

site:http://microsite.smithsonianmag.com/museumday/about.html

Saturday is National Museum Day and all you have to do is print out a card and 2 people get in free! If you have more than 2 that you need find away to sign up twice maybe with a different address all you need is a printed card! There is a pull down bar that lets you see what museums are available to you. It is Nation wide and it looks pretty awesome. I though of you with family because with the economy it is hard to do family events and this is a great way to do educational and family, cheap! Hope it helps ... We are going to the ZOO! Yea!!! Love you!
