Animals!

Last week we went to Busch Gardens.  Nicole rode on the Cheetah Hunt roller coaster with me.  She screamed the whole time, and cried at the end :(  But...she didn't swear off roller coasters every again (in fact, she went a smaller...far more scarier one with me later that day).  She just said she wouldn't go on Cheetah Hunt again until she was a lot bigger.  (on a side notes...I really liked it.  It was long and smooth, only one flip upside down.  A great coaster for one who wants the thrill without the neck ache ;)

On our way to find my mom and dad the other two kids...we walked through the gorilla area.  It was early in the morning, so they were out.  Check out how close they were to us!!!

Check Out those hands!

And those feet!

Nicole thought it was pretty cool to be so close to the gorilla

A few days we had a picnic with my friend Abby.  While eating under a tree...we kept having little seeds fall on us. When we were almost done eating, I looked up...and saw this...

It was a family of raccoons in the tree above us.  They were so cute!  However, if one would have jumped on our head, we would have freaked out...and my friend may have gone into labor ;)

After we left, they came down to eat our scraps

Last month we went to the Florida Aquarium to visit some friends.  While there we saw some penguins, touched sting rays and saw giant alligators.  It was a nice trip.

A cool school of fish that were swarming in circles.  The girls watching them forever!

Smile sting ray!

This is what I looked like after spending the day at the aquarium :)

 Oh yeah...Hannah got to ride on a motorcycle/moped with Jeremy the other day.  Mommy didn't like it...but Hannah and daddy both did :)
