Memorial Day = Penguin Day

we went to the zoo for memorial day, along with half of wichita. we took a picnic basket and met some really strange people waiting in line to see the penguins. the sedgwick county zoo has a new penguin exhibit. these guys are from south america and are kinda funny looking if you are expecting an emperor penguin. there were about 15 or so of them swimming around and they were really cute though. some of them swam with their heads above water, and some looked like they were snorkeling. the bears were another super cool exhibit. the two grizzlies that were in the habitat were running around and looked like they were trying to jump over and se us. the gorillas were also running all around. two of the males were play fighting the whole time we were watching them. it was super cool.



after the zoo, which by the way, was another classic example of "just because the sun cant see you etc" because it was cloudy all day but i definitely got sunburned, we went over to lauras house for dinner. joe and william and sydney were there. we had deep fried turkey, which was a new experience, with all kinds of veggies etc etc. it was so yummy! sydney is like a foot taller than when i saw her last. she is a middle schooler now and i am proud to say, she reads like me. walks around reading. reads while she eats. reads while playing video games. ok she doesnt really do that but i think we are secretly twins separated at birth or something. joe took a family picture with everybody in it - just ignore my moms pants. long story.
