1st Day.

Bailey was off and running to her 1st day of Kindergarten this morning. Yep, a few tears were shed; hers while clinging to my leg, mine as soon as I beat a path to my car! Sad but very true. We are so excited for the blessings to continue.Photo with the Kimberly, Brian and Megan on their 1st day of school.
Today was also the 1st day of Megan's last year of school and Bailey's 1st day of the Kindergarten. I thought it was quite special.

Brian started 7th grade. Wow!

Oh how we love our bedazzled "B"

We are so proud!

Big Cats + Big Trees = FUN

WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD

What we saw could only be described as incredible thus the many photos.

I decided to take the girls to Cat Haven, a location on the route to Kings Canyon National Park (home to Grant Grove...also home to the National Christmas Tree).

We were REALLY this close to the animals. Cat Haven is an awesome facility that houses some of the rarest large cats. Check it out at http://www.cathaven.com/!
