Zoo

Today we went to Hogle Zoo it was so much fun! It was such a beautiful day not too hot with a little breezy perfect zoo weather. The girls were so good except Remi's DRAMATIC experience. I don't know if I have said this before but Remi HATES bugs, and spiders she and Cheyane tease all the time saying "The spider is coming to get you!" Then they will pretend their fingers are spiders and tickle you with them and they expect you to freak out. One morning the girls were eating cereal sitting on the kitchen floor and all the sudden I hear Remi screaming bloody murder so I go over there and she has run away from her cereal saying there was a spider and there was, she was so afraid! Well while we were at the park a boxelder bug landed on her arm and she FLIPPED OUT!!! I think that may be an understatement. I even killed the bug in front of her and she was still distraught about it 15 minutes later well she finally got over it and 30 minutes later another one flew onto her leg here again she FREAKED! There is NO calming Remi down when she is freaking out i think the whole park heard her screaming thinking I was torturing her but no all it was is a boxelder bug on her (even worse she thought it was a lady bug, aren't those supposed to be cute?) Well I had to teach her what to do if a bug gets on you so now she knows and if you ask her she will tell you "you brush it off and tell it to GO AWAY!" But all in all it was a great day! The girls tickling daddy they think they are so funny!
Remi standing next to the ape, that is as close as she would get to it but Cheyane wouldn't even get close enough to take a picture.
Me and the girls sitting down to take a breather and calm Remi down from her traumatic experience.
The girls looking at the baby elephant my favorite thing I saw!
Remi riding the animal in the store at the zoo. Cheyane riding the animal in the store she is so funny every time she does something she thinks is fun she says "Ye-haw" it is so funny. Both the girls riding the animals Cheyane didn't want to ride the Giraffe.
FINALLY Ready for bed!
Josh got a new toy and he has been playing with it non stop. Stupid me for putting that idea into his head. I had no idea it would be such a big commitment and cost so much, but he is loving it he has stared at it for 3 hours straight tonight. We started a salt water fish tank we have had it for 2 months now we have live rock, 4 fish, 10 snails, and 10 crabs. We hope they last we have had 5 total fish die so far, it is so hard to get all the levels in the water where they need to be so hopefully these ones will do good.

Looks like you guys had fun!!! :) I can't believe Remi hates bugs that bad! It's kinda funny! Love the Fish Tank! We've been thinking about getting one too! But, I don't think I could deal with all the fish dieing. :( Hopefully you got it figured out!

That's so funny about the salt water fish tank. Braydan has been wanting one so bad, but I always told him no. Should I let him?

Poor Remi at the zoo. Where did she get the bug freak-out from? She needs to watch a movie about nice bugs or something :)

Your zoo adventure sounds like fun.

That's great you guys started a salt water fish tank. We've played around with the idea of starting one so we can catch fish while we are snorkeling but we haven't done it. Maybe I can figure out a way to send you the fish instead- lol.
