This month has actually been a lot of fun! For Labor Day weekend (Friday) the White family went to the city park in Noel for some fun in the sun. We swam in the river and played on the playground. It was a lot of fun. The girls love swimming and hanging out with cousins! This is at lunch at Arby's before the picnic...
Pictures of the picnic:
Then, on Saturday, Brevin and I took the girls to a drive-through safari in Arkansas. They had a BLAST and so did Brevin and I! We will definitely be going back here!
They have a walk-through area where you get to feed all sorts of different animals.
Donkeys
Goats
Turtles
Kangaroos
All sorts of monkeys!
Baby camels
This spider monkey was so fun! It would run around it's cage and go down the slide and was so interactive with everyone there!
There was another spider monkey there that was out on a leash. Her name was Chloe. She jumped on Brevin and Aspen and Hadley (while Brevin was holding her). She tried to reach into my pocket to see what she could find. She also tried to eat the buttons on Hadley's pants - Hadley freaked out of course!
They even had baby baboons that you could go into the cage with and hold. You had to be 14 or older though to hold them.
There were camels EVERYWHERE!
We even found Sid the Sloth!
Chickens
Emus
The girls thought going into the cage with the kangaroos was awesome!
Llamas
Not sure what this is...yak maybe??
Then on to the drive-through part of the park...
Yes, we were technically supposed to keep our windows up and not feed the animals....but no one else was following the rules! Did we give in to peer pressure...yes, yes we did.
A baby zebra!!! How precious!!
We got up close and personal with a few camels along the way!
Can you believe the size of these horns!?!
Brevin got an extreme close-up with this white buffalo. I never knew that white buffalo existed?!
The girls were so excited to finally find the hippo! She even passed gas when we were pulling away and the girls thought it was hillarious to see the bubbles in the water.
This rhino was HUGE!!!
The girls thought the monkeys with the red butts were so funny!
Feeding the spider monkey ice...
It was an awesome day at the "zoo"! We spent 6 hours here this day and could have stayed much longer! It was so much fun!
One evening we decided that after dinner it would be fun to go out on the back patio and have smores. They were delicious! Smores with cinnamon graham crackers are absolutely DIVINE!
The girls and I went to the mall with my mom one Friday after daycare left and ran into my brother and his wife and kids there and they jumped on the “Spider Trampolines”. After they were done and told me how much it was for their whole family to do it I thought that it would be fun for the girls, Brevin, and I to do it too. So, I got on the phone and got Brevin over to the mall and we had a go at it too. It was SO much fun! It really is quite the workout though! Aspen was so brave and did some back flips! She was so proud of herself!

This month started deer hunting season (bow) and Brevin got one! His very first deer EVER and with a bow! I was definitely proud of him, but I think he might have been a little more proud of himself ;)
Other than that, nothing much else has been going on. Next month is Maple Leaf Festival and Halloween…YAY
