Dickerson Park Zoo

One of the must-do's on every trip to Springfield is the zoo.

With the petting zoo and being able to feed the giraffes this zoo lets you get much more up close and personal with the animals than our zoo in Salt Lake. Not to mention all the space and trees it feels like these animals actually have a little wilderness.

New Cousin Cora

We got to meet Cora this week as Marta's sister and brother in-law came into town and had Cora's baby blessing in Orem. Noelle is just a few weeks older so it was fun to see these two little girls side-by-side.

It's pretty amazing that on Marta's side of the family we all had 7 boys in a row. Then this year the trend was broken and a new one has begun - 3 girls in a row.

Noelle's Baby Blessing

 

Noelle's baby blessing was today.  She wore the same dress that Marta was blessed in as a child. It was a pretty exciting day and great to see a lot of friends and family.

The boys have spent a lot of the summer so far on the trampoline, so I had to include this one.
