San Francisco Zoo

We took the whole family down to the San Francisco Zoo.  The weather was sunny and perfect and the kids were pretty well behaved.  Which definitely makes it a great day! 

 

The kids outside the zoo waiting for Daddy to buy the tickets.

Our first stop was to watch the bears get fed.  We had to wait awhile but we got front row seats and it was definitely neat to watch.

This just shows how close we were.

I like how Dyer kept going over there and getting his finger stepped on.

Pantene Beautiful Lengths

I finally decided to chop my hair off and donate it!  Nathan's Aunt suggested about a year ago that I should donate my hair to Pantene instead of Locks of Love.  Apparently Locks of Love charges cancer patients for their wigs (based on their income) but Pantene gives them for free!  That definitely sounded better to me.  I still need to get a package to send the hair in but it should be in the mail later this week!

Here's the before pics:

Sorry it's a little blurry is wasn't until we were taking the after shots that we realized there was finger prints all over the front of the lens.

 And the After pics:

I cut off about 15".

I like my haircut but I think I might try styling the front (bang) area a little differently.  I forgot to take a  picture of the back...sorry mom!

This little dude thinks I look like his Auntie and has been calling me Auntie all night long!

Family Plane Ride

We were supposed to make a trip to Idaho for Nathan's cousin's missionary farewell, but the weather was not very good so we decided to not make the trip.  It was probably a good thing since we later heard of a father, son, and a friend that got killed in a plane crash the same day we were planning on traveling and they were basically flying the same route we were going to take.

A week later we decided to try a small family trip.  The weather was foggy on and off again.  We took off with not much fog but within a few minutes the fog was getting thicker so we turned around and landed.  It was probably a good thing since none of the kids were having much fun.  It takes quite a while to drive to the airport and then even longer to get the airplane all checked out and ready to go.  On the up side we were all able to fit into the airplane (Dyer's carseat included) which we weren't sure if it was going to work or not.

Kids!  Dyer just woke up so he wasn't sure what to think of everything.

Dyer definitely didn't like the earplugs. 

Nathan right before take off!

Our view once we got into the fog.
