A Trip to the Zoo

Kaylee had a fieldtrip to the zoo with her Kindergarten class and I was lucky enough to go as one of the chaperones! Kaylee has had the best Kindergarten class this year. Her teacher Mrs. Bailey has been amazing and she has made so many cute friends. She has about 11 little girls in her class and everyday as the parents drive up to drop of their student all the little girls scream and run over to give the girl that just arrived a big welcome group hug. They are all so nice and sweet to one another. They include everyone and are so excited to be together at school every day. I am crossing my fingers she gets to stay in a class with all these cute friends next year!

Here is our little group we toured the zoo with. Look at all those cute little monkeys!!!


Kaylee with her best friends Morgan and Blaise!


All we hear about when Kaylee comes home is Roman, Roman, Roman. Roman is so funny. Roman said this today, Etc. Daddy is not very happy to hear about Kaylee's little Kindergarten crush. He was hoping she would have no crushes until she was 30!!!


Pics around the zoo with the kids!




After the fieldtrip we stayed for the afternoon and the rest of the Kemp clan joined us! We were lucky to have dan's dad and mom in town for his niece's baby blessing. We had a great time showing Nana and Papa Kemp, Aunt Kelli, and cousins Tyson, Zach, and Julianne around the zoo!



Drink anyone? I love this drinking fountain at the zoo. I have a picture at this same drinking fountain when I was little!

Miss Khloe cruisin' in the stroller!

Catchin Some Rays!

The Giraffes were a hit! All the kids (and Papa Kemp) thought the giraffes were the coolest.





Dan has been so excited to plant a garden this year in our backyard. Our neighbors have a beautiful garden in their backyard so as soon as we moved in Dan headed over to ask for some advice on our own garden. They have been so awesome to help us get ours started and it is looking absolutely incredible! Anyway, the gardening system that our neighbors are experts at is called the Mittleider Garden System. Dan has read all up on it and has become quite educated on this type of gardening. So as we were walking past the giraffes I looked over and noticed this huge garden area. I pointed it out to Dan because it looked just like the garden we have at home! Sure enough it was a Mittleiter Garden! There was a big sign that pointed it out. Apparently it is one of the largest in Utah and they garden with this method to feed all the animals at the zoo. Dan was so excited! This definitely made the trip worth it for Dan!



The Apes!

Is your hand as big as an ape? Dan's was pretty close- Terrie's not so much!


One big monkey!


Zach and Khloe- looking a little tired from their adventures at the zoo.

Some final pics from our day at the zoo. We had a blast!!!

Kaylee's Dance Recital

Our little dancer Kaylee had her spring dance recital in May. She was excited to perform her numer this year- but mostly excited about her beautiful costumes- especially the gloves! They did a tap number to Paris Holds the Key to Your Heart fromt he movie Anastasia. As always Kaylee did awesome! She had the biggest smile and knew all the steps perfectly! Mom and dad are always so proud to see her dance.

Makenna can not wait until she can dance too! She gets to start dance lessons in the fall and she can hardly wait. Every week when I take Kaylee to dance class Makenna stands and peeks through the little space in the window to watch Kaylee and her class practice. Then at home she imitates Kaylee and amazingly learns the dances almost as well as Kaylee does. Makenna's favorite past time is to perform with Kaylee to her dance music in the living room. She is definitely going to be a performer!!! Here you can see how proud she is of her big sis! She proudly wore her Kaylee picture badge so everyone knew who's little sister she was!

Kaylee loves dancing with her Aunt Janessa and cousins Ian and Emily!

Proud mom and dad!
