Zoo Day

Last Thursday our church went to the Memphis Zoo together.

Watching the animals was fun, but watching the people enjoy them was just as much fun!

I think the monkeys were everyone's favorite!  Here is a funny video clip of one of the baby monkeys getting scared by a larger monkey.

I thought this was a really cute family picture.  (The fifth child is walking just in front of his daddy, so you can't see him.)

J. P Coleman State Park

Last week some of us went camping at J.P. Coleman State Park for David's birthday.

Steven and Anna rented us a campsite right by the river.

Sweet Little Pets

These adorable little squirrels came out of Steven and Anna's chimney. :) We kept them for a few days then let them go. They were a lot of fun! Our cousin Livy really enjoyed them!

Guns!

Here are some pictures from a few weeks ago when the boys were target practicing.

Chris Farris, a friend from church, came over to shoot with the guys.
