A nice day at the zoo...

 As a way to get away from all the current stress we are experiencing and because it is Spring Break, we decided to spend the day at Lowry Park Zoo again!

Savannah and Kate were super excited this time because they have a Dinosaur Exhibit this week! Unfortunately our batteries died in our camera about halfway through the day but we got some nice pics of the morning...

the dinos were life sized, animated, and made noise...it was like a small version of Jurassic park! Savannah was a little hesitant at first but in the end everyone loved it.

There was a huge T-Rex slide, a dino dig site, and of course a gift shop!!! Sadly Savannah wasn't tall enough to go on the slide but she was pretty good about it and once we distracted her with the next stop (feeding the lorikeets) she forgot all about it!

The girls had a blast playing in the water spouts! Savannah got her shoes soaked and then walked around in them all day so when we got into the car her feet were like prunes!!!

Here is Savannah attempting to move this enormous rock! She is such a butch!

Owen was sporting Daddy's hat...so cute!

And right before the camera died, Savannah and I went on the Overland Express Train! Afterward, we rode the mini coaster, the flying bananas, and took a casual camel ride!! That's right a camel ride. What was really neat is we met an older couple (the man was 73) and he came all the way to the zoo today to get his picture taken riding a camel! He was taking the picture as show and tell to his 55th high school reunion in Minnesota. Very neat!

On a sad note, we found out on Monday that Kaitlyn has Juvenile Diabetes. We've spent the first part of the week getting blood tests and monitoring her blood sugar. Tomorrow we go for a glucose tolerance test and see the endocrinologist again. We're hoping to have a treatment plan soon. She is doing great with all the poking and testing, but I know it's got to be frustrating for her! More updates as we find out more.
