My brother Drew put this up on his blog today. Love it!

Leaving on jet plane...almost

For a couple of months I have been planning a trip to Pennsylvania with Parker. We selected the dates (July 8-14), made hotel reservations, and let friends know we were coming in town. Tuesday we (I) did laundry, packed, and bought food and new toys for Parker. Yesterday morning we loaded up the car and headed to the airport. We were almost inside when Sam realized we forgot the car seat in the car, so he dropped us off to stand in line and went back to get it. While he was gone I began checking in at a kiosk. I swiped my credit card, selected my destination city...Cannot retrieve your reservation. Hmm, I must have done something wrong, so I swiped and typed again. Cannot retrieve your reservation. By this time Sam was just getting back with the car seat. I was about to ask an agent for help when it dawned on me. July 15th. I pulled out my phone, and found the email with my itinerary. Sure enough, the departure date was July 15th-a week from yesterday. I had looked at my email confirmation a couple of times in the past few days checking times and whatnot, but had never realized that Sam booked the wrong weekend! (Yes, I'm blaming it all on him :) ). Needless to say it was very embarrassing. At that point I was glad I hadn't made a big deal about it to one of the agents. At least we could walk quietly away and not make a big scene.

Funny story now, definitely not funny at the time! I'm just glad our trip was a week late and not a week earlier!

Zoo

Recently we headed to the San Diego Zoo with our friends. We had never been before and had a great time! The zoo is beautiful (this coming from someone who doesn't really love zoos).

Here are Parker and Addelyn. It was cute, they were holding hands in their strollers right before this picture was taken.

The zoo has double decker bus tours that go around some of the animal exhibits. It was fun when Parker noticed the giraffes and LOVED them!

The zoo has a children's zoo which has a petting area with goats roaming around. The kids definitely were not afraid. They went right up and pet (or grabbed) them.

This was my favorite part of the kids zoo. Our little bugs!

Sam and Parker

Sam's favorite part was the reptile house. There were ENORMOUS snakes.

Checking out the monkeys.

Here we are with the hippo. Parker was very interested in it!
