August 31: At the Zoo with Dillon

Today we went on another trip to the zoo with Dillon.

These pictures of the girls wearing Rich's hat crack me up!

Sept 3: Labor Day @ Brookfield Zoo

Having the day off, we decided to make the trip out to Brookfield Zoo with Jamie & Aogu, and Jason & Kristen with all the kids in tow.

We started off with a ride on the carosel. I never consider paying for a 2 minute ride, but we went - and I have to say it was worth it. Koji - yes, he is winking, so cool!

Calli on her buffalo. (I even sang "Everybody's got a water buffalo :) )


Aogu and Izumi - this is more impressive than you know since she is incredibly scared off all largish animals.

Me and Calli


Mari - looking ultra-cool with Koji's shades.

Calli wearing a REALLY BIG shirt!!
