fullerton summer - wednesday

Tami decided that we all needed to venture out to the

Brooks Museum

for their free day. As usual, Tami and I were there before the rest of the fam, so we took our littles to see the HORRIFIC versions of "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "The Three Billy Goats Gruff." Everyone else arrived, and we headed for the craft room. While the ladies crammed into a crammed room to make a crown for the older littles (apparently the theme was "Fairy Tales"... these were fairy tales in the Brothers Grimm version!) the men took the babies and gear to tour the exhibits. Seth and Leah loved their crowns, even though Leah had a rough start in the craft room (10-11 is her melt down time). In fact, they will be featured in several posts to come!!

After the Brooks, we all headed to CiCi's for lunch because we were going to need all our strength to tour

The Memphis Zoo

It was a great day!

We watched the Sea Lion Show!


We played in the geyser.... well some of us!

The triplet cousins and Nana and the camera man stayed in the Lodge while the rest of us were in the geyser. Also while at the Teton Trek, we watched the most AMAZING display at the grizzlies! First, because of the grizzly sniff spot, we were all safely 5 feet from a grizzlies snout and claws! QUITE INTIMIDATING! Then, one of them got frisky and for at least 15 minutes, we watched them running, chasing, leaping, diving and wrestling!

AWESOME
view of
God's Creation!
