We've been trying out all kinds of things in the South, and had great adventures in doing so.
Two weeks ago there was a rodeo in town, and the kiddos and mom went to go see calf-roping,
sit up on big tractors and have a kind man drive us around the parking lot, and get up close to some farm animals.
That same afternoon, although that wasn't enough, we all ventured out to our city zoo. The city itself has about 55,000 people, so although it's not a huge zoo, by golly folks, we've got
ourselves a real zoo with a tiger, jaguar, monkeys of various types, zebras, ostrich, alligators, etc. We are excited to live so close to a zoo that will entertain our kids for many visits!
In other big news, our little/big C has started preschool this week, and she couldn't be more excited! Here she is on her first day!
Last, but not least, yesterday we headed to the coast (just over an hour from our house) to attend an art walk of a cute downtown,
and then headed a mile south to the beach. Our kids had never seen the Gulf of Mexico before, and brother B had never been to a real coastal beach. They loved it and wanted to stay and play longer in the water and with the seagulls, but we needed to head home. J then proceeded to enjoy watching the Wolverines win their opening game (you can see him sporting his UM pride)!
Come one, come all down South...we've got lots to show you!

Everyone looks fantastic. Glad to see you're getting the most out of your new location!
I'm glad you found a preschool for Caitlin. Hope all is well. Baby is due soon right? Any names? I'll have Joshua write a letter soon (we are in Utah right now). He sure loved receiving mail.
The kids are as precious as ever. Hope all goes well the impending birth of the new addition. All my love. Give C and B a hug and kiss from me.
Way to go exploring! It looks like lots of fun... so great to see pics of your family!
