80's flashback

 

This week is Homecoming week at the new Ankeny Centennial High and the kids elementary school is included in the fun.  Today was 80's flashback day!!

Ledges State Park

 

Saturday we decided to drive up to Ledges State Park and hike around for awhile.  It was great to get out and enjoy the nice cool weather and spend time as a family.  The kids really enjoyed it. Austin loved it and said he wants "this" (lots of places to explore) in his new house.

Blank Park Zoo

 

 

 

Today the kids were out of school for Labor Day, the weather has finally cooled down (it's been so hot the school has been having indoor recess) and they had free zoo passes from the library for reading this summer so I took them to the zoo (Jason had to work).

They were so excited to go and so good the whole time we were there.  It has changed quite a bit since we started going there 7 years ago...for the better!
