Summer Adventures

We ended making several trips to Salt Lake for interviews and were able to squeeze in lots of fun activities. One of our favorite places to visit is the Living Planet Aquarium, we even bought an annual pass (showing faith that things are going to work out and where we'll end up).

 We also visited Temple Square and hung out with the Wrigleys. (Where we always have lots of fun!)

We took a much needed trip to Las Vegas to visit the Chamberlains and to hang out in their pool....it was sweet relief to be weightless for a little while and to let my aching pregnant body relax! (Sorry, no pictures of me.)

Two things we never did while living in St. George for seven years....visit Zion National Park and the waterfalls at Gunlock reservoir. So we did both just in case we really are leaving and may not have the chance again for a long time. The Porters joined us for the excursion to Zion's....the weather was perfect!

Roos-N-More Zoo

For Memorial Day we joined the Porters for an outing to the zoo. How have we lived so close to this little gem in the desert for so long without knowledge of its existence? If you ever find yourself in Moapa and need something to do...please pay a visit to Roos-N-More...it's worth your time.

We got to hold a baby wallaby...

and an armadillo...

and got up close and personal with lots of animals like a warthog....

and a bearcat...

camels...

porcupines (crazy Nathan)... 

monkeys...

turtles...

kangaroos...

a toucan....

and more....sloths, yaks, zebras, lemurs, and other exotic birds. 

Thanks for the good times, Porter family!
