I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

The Hogal Zoo!

Saturday (Aug. 30) when we woke up and got ready we headed down to Salt Lake to meet up, with April and her kids, at the Hogal Zoo. The girls have been to the Willow Park Zoo in Logan hundreds of times but we thought that it would be fun for them to be able to see all kinds of different animals. It was also our little family activity before Ashlynn started Headstart. (Which she did today) The girls had a lot of fun getting to hang out with Oakley and Carter before they went home. We sure wish they lived closer!

My favorite picture (besides Anthony in front of the Primate sign) was the little Monkey's with flowers in their hair! They are so so cute.
