A few photos of us just hanging around the house. We sure enjoyed our week with Chris and his family and Mike and his family. We missed you Katy and your family. Maybe sometime soon??

We took a hike to get a better view of Castle Rock in Sedona. As you can see we all kept each other walking.











Here we are celebrating the New Year!!!
Aren't we just the most exciting group you have seen in a while?? Oh well, at least the kids were cute.

I guess you can't tell from this picture, but they are all riding a camel.




Here Patrick feeds a giraffe.



Here Patrick gets to feed a tiger!

















Another day trip was to "Out of Africa". A whole day of great fun. One little panther thought Maddie was a tasty little tidbit and followed her back and forth in front of the pen for over 15 minutes. Everyone was so amazed at this spectacle that we all forgot to take a video of it. I guess I should not have taught the kids to say, I'm yummy, yummy, yummy!

ZOO AND ZOO LIGHTS, 2008

Miss Maddie loved the cheerleader outfit gift from her Aunt Katy, and it seems she also loved the little Wis. football player, Aaron.





The 'Old Pirate' left each child their own treasure chest for Christmas. It was a Maddie's first treasure hunt.

A couple of Christmas morning pictures.
