A day at the zoo with "the boys" and g-ma

We made a trip to the Grand Rapids Zoo this past Sunday. We met Jackson, Quentin, Lisa, Tom, and G-ma there for a day of fun! Marcie and Mike also met us along with their son Michael. We had a blast and decided that we will have to do it every year!!..Here are some pics:


Tessa decided she didnt want to wear a shirt that morning. She sure is a happy baby, we are truly blessed!

Someone was extremely excited to see everyone (especially Jack, Quent, and G-ma) She is becoming quite the comedian. You never know what will come out of the silly girl!


This was one of the few times that Avery was in the stroller. She walked around with the boys most of the time.


Me and Tessa posing by the fish tank while everyone made pit stops at the restrooms!

The giant fish tanks were a huge hit. Here Avery and Quent are looking at the sharks and the huge eel. Great fun!


Is she looking at the fish or at herself??? You never know!

That poor goat!! I have wrestled with the three of them, and I know how you feel buddy!



Jack, Avery and Quent in the background on the right. This was a big wooden choo choo train that we had to peel them all out of to keep movin!

That goat loved Tessa, came right up and was licking her shoe!
She can't wait til she is big enough to get out with the other kids!


G-ma and the three brittkateers standing under the waterfall. I think G-ma had a good time too!

This is a good shot of their family. I am glad that it turned out so well. It is hard to get Avery to sit still for a picture, much less two of them!!

Then there is us. My shoulders were definitely sore by the end of the day. She hasn't mastered the holding onto my head thing yet, so I have to hold on to her. Hard on the arms!!!

Thanks for coming to the zoo with us guys, we had a blast!!
