First off, I wanted to write about a few things we’ve been up to. On Tuesday night, we went to The Fray concert!! It was a fun concert, outside under the stars at the Usana Amphitheater. The lighting was amazing and it was entertaining to watch people make fools of themselves. We liked to laugh at how people dance. One guy we dubbed “Shirtless Barefoot Guy.” No explanation necessary. The Fray finished their encore with my favorite of their songs, “Look After You.” The whole crowd was singing along. Good times!
Wednesday morning the guy who I shall call “Inspector Gadget” came and did our house inspection for our buyer. It was fun trying to corrall the kids and stay out of his way. Brandon kept asking him questions and wanted him to fix our broken TV. 
Today we had a lovely time hanging out with Julie, Halle and Aidan, where Julie and I laughed our guts out at some pictures from our college days….I thought she might go into early labor we were laughing so hard.
Okay, now on to the vacation pictures!! Today I will talk about our visit to the Wild Animal Kingdom. It is supposed to feel like you are in Africa. It really is just a glorified-ish zoo. But it was fun to see the animals anyway.
Brandon and Annie holding hands in the backseat of the car. Awwww….
These lions were hanging out on the top of a car. We thought it was funny! I didn’t have my zoom lens so this is as good as I could get it.
Our little fam on the “safari” bus. Our tour guide was like a watered-down Robin Williams/life coach/motivational speaker ala Matt Foley–cracking fast jokes one second and then the next second lecturing us on how we need to make the most out of our lives or we’d end up living in a van down by the river.
Amy took this pic of Annie–they were sitting in the car behind us.
Not too many of the animal pictures were that great, they were too far away and I didn’t have my zoom. But I did like this one of the giraffes.
Awwww, cute “Win” and “Mamie” aka Jordan and Amy.
The gorillas were probably our favorite. This one just was posing like a model for us, GQ style.
You HAVE to measure yourself against the big gorilla. For some reason, I did not do it.
Even Jaden got in on the fun.
LOVE this one of Grandpa Judd and Brandon.
The stinky flamingos. But look at the fuzzy little baby ones! I guess they don’t turn pink until they get older. I didn’t read about it because it stunk too badly.
A cool plant.
Little Miss Annie Jayne.
The kids and the rhino.

That looks run. I bet your kids loved it! Fun pictures, too! Can’t wait to see the Disney ones!
what a fun “Africa” trip that was!! Such great photos you were able to take….and too cute your DS was asking the Inspector all those questions. Too bad he wasn’t able to fix the TV!! That would have been the topper to your DS’s curiosity! 😀
Too cute!
Not only does it look run…but fun too! I’m a dork!
