Fixin'!

Like father, like son!

The Zoo!

"Hello Everyone!" Here are some pictures of when Mom and Grandma took us to the zoo!! We had such a great time. We got to see lots of animals!"





Kyla said her favorite part of the day was seeing the Giraffe's. She made sure to point out that they were also the stinkiest.

Emperor Tamarin Monkeys...

Look! We found monkeys that kind of look like Grandpa Parks!






Will the real Jeff Parks please stand up?

LUNCH!

Time for a little bite to eat. Geez, Grandma, get your own!




Grandma just wants to clean Colton's mouth but he thought she meant the inside of his mouth!

I thought I'd let Colton run around a little bit and burn off some steam. It's not easy sitting in that stoller all morning! Boy, that kid can move!

Colton thought he was pretty cool sitting on the benches...

The Conservatory

And now we come to my favorite part of our trip - the Conservatory. How completely gorgeous is this?





Grandma and Kyla walked through the beautiful flowers. Kyla need to take a "rest" half way through.

Isn't this just beautiful?

The Carousel

I think this was Grandma's favorite part. What a great end to a fabulous day. Here's Grandma and Kyla waiting so patiently for their turn on the Merry-go-round. I don't know who was more excited, Grandma or Kyla!

Well if the smiles don't just say it all...

Colton was a little upset when his ride was over...

The New Playset!!!

"Hey, Everybody! Look what my daddy built for me!!!"

"It even has a slide!!"

"Isn't this cool?"

"It even has a telescope!"

"Yeah, what she said!"

"Everyone can swing!"

Ride 'em Cowboy!

Colton takes on the big bad vacuum cleaner. Get 'em Colton, get 'em!




Atta boy!!

Picnic at the Peterson's!

Here is the new and improved Madson family!!!

And you may remember Colton's girlfriends, Emily and Ashley. Well, here they all are enjoying a wonderful picnic lunch.

Oh, Abby...

"What? I'm on my bed?"

Happy Birthday, Caden!!

For Caden's fourth birthday, we all met at a local park to barbeque and play. Look at this cool cake Auntie Sara made...



Here's Dad and Colton on top on the slide...

Here Dad is showing the kids how to fly airplanes while Colton cuddles...
