Elephant Farts

we (my dad, brother, me and the kids) went to the zoo today. it was a beautiful sunny day and we thought we would take advantage of it before the million degree weather sets in.

we have always taken the kids pictures by the letter K (for our last name) ever since the boy was itty bitty. they are so funny - they know exactly where it is adn that i always take their picture there!



i was worried about the sun and the kids getting burned, so i got them some cool safari looking hats for them to wear. they pretty much look cute in whatever i put them in, so it was no suprise that they looked super cute in these!! ;-)








we got to see Africa Live 2, which is a new part of the zoo they just opened. it is really neat - the enclosures look so much more natural versus a 'cage' type feeling. we saw Lukcy the elephant. as you can guess by the title of this blog post, we were in PRIME position for when Lucky farted. elephants farts are HUGE!!! it was quite a treat.










we also got to see the hippos up close and personal......and of course, they pooped for us as well. there seemed to be a theme to this visit....



earlier last week, we went downtown to my parents favorite restraunt, Casa Rio.




they have been going there since the dawn of time. it is a really good restraunt and the kids love it. this time we had to sit inside instead of outside on the riverwalk, but it was still fun.












i mean, really........elephant farts?!?!?!?
