Fun GJ Adventures

We've been taking full advantage of the fun things there are to do here in our old hometown (and on the way to it). Here is the run down.


Omaha Zoo We have gone to this zoo every year for Miss B's birthday. We love it! The girls love it too. My favorite is always the gorillas, Miss B liked the sharks, Miss K the giraffes, and KC the rhino.


Miss B a little unsure about that big rhino poo

Colorado Hiking We missed the mountains in Iowa and couldn't wait to get back into them as soon as possible. We spotted a collard lizard on our desert hike.





Dinosaur Journey in Fruita Miss B loved it, Miss K got scared and kept covering her ears so she wouldn't hear the roaring.



Moon Farm in Fruita This is such a unique place KC and I both remember from our childhoods. There are little huts and houses with different themes from all over the world, antique collections, pony rides and other quaint displays that all seems unchanged since we were young. The girls had a great time. Check out these natural riders we have here.

Mike the Headless Chicken Festival in Fruita Kind of a random thing KC was interested in doing. Yeah, there really was a Headless Chicken, his name was Mike and he lived in Fruita. Now there is a festival for him!


Hanging out with good friends. Loved this picture. Our friends blog describes it much better than I can. Check it out here.

Just for cuteness

It was really fun to see and read about your adventures as you crossed the country on your way to California.
