Is anyone else loving this fall like weather as much as we are?!?!? It is so nice to be able to go outside and stay out there for more than 15 minutes without breaking a sweat. Last Monday Jett and I met my friend Shanna and her nephew Addison at the park. It was so nice outside, and they boys had a great time. It was so funny to watch Jett follow Addison around and copy everything he was doing. It was also cute to hear Jett refer to Addison as Madison. I have no idea where this came from, but that is what he always calls him.
We have a creek that runs through our neighborhood, and Jett absolutely loves for me to walk him down there and let him throw rocks in the water. We were on our way out the door to the "creek water" as Jett calls it, and he noticed his tug boat, so it had to go along. I never take my camera because I am so afraid of dropping it, but I got brave this time and decided to try to get some pictures of him at the creek because he loves it so much!
Our friends own the Safari's Sanctuary in Broken Arrow, so today after church we ran home, changed clothes, and headed out to see all of the animals. I highly recommend Safari's for anyone who has kids (or even those who don't) because they have such a great variety of animals, and unlike the zoo, you can get right up next to them, and even feed them. Jett was such a brave boy. He walked up to and touched almost everything.

I don't know about that kitty, it's pretty big
Are you sure it doesn't bite?

We just happened to be at the zoo on the day they gave the hairless cat a bath.
After all the fun and excitement, Jett got sick to his stomach on the way home. Poor little guy. I had the same thing yesterday, so I am hoping that we just had some type of 24 hour bug. I hate to see him not feeling well. He is so much fun at this age. The other day I was struggling to get his stroller out of the back of Bobby's truck, and when I finally got it, he said "good job mommy!!" Everywhere we go, people seem amazed at how well he talks. If people only knew how much Bobby and I talk, they would probably not be nearly as surprised:)
Last but not least, Amy and I went Friday evening and bought Bret Michaels tickets!! We are SO excited, and we are in the 5th row. When I called Bobby to tell him the good news, his response was "you mean 5 rows worth of tickets have already sold?" He may not be a Bret fan, but Amy and I can't wait until Oct. 23rd!! Pleather pants from the 90's, here we come:)

What a fun trip to the safari!! I am really impressed that Jett touched all of those animals, I would've been scared to touch several of them myself!
I must say, I am not a fan of that hairless cat! Tayson had a bug on Sunday too, it must be going around! I hope Jett is feeling better!!
Ok that's it, i am going to have to break down and buy the camera you use, it is so amazing! What kind is it again?
I can't believe you guys got so close to half of those animals. I would have stayed away from the snake and the skunk :) That is so great he is not afraid!
That is so funny about Bret Michaels! You guys will have a blast and I remember the last time I wore my pleather pants, it was not a good site :) hehe
