IMAGE 6: Abbey and Eric ask Aunt Mollie about pregnancy and such.

IMAGE 10: Rope bridge in the rainforest exhibit (as seen in front of me)...

IMAGE 11: Rope bridge in the rainforest exhibit (as seen in back of me)...

IMAGE 12: My mistake with this shot was to say, "Smile! This can be our Christmas card!" Apparently they decided to gang up on me at that point. Took it anyway. (Note to other parents out there: NEVER SHOW WEAKNESS.)

IMAGE 13: There's a 2-day old monkey in there somewhere.

IMAGE 14: Eric makes free Subway kids meal sunglasses look cool.

IMAGE 15: Only had to spring for 2 kids carousel tickets this time, since 11-y/o Colton was having none of it.

IMAGE 16: My stalker

IMAGE 17: Tired kids spread across hotel room

IMAGE 18: Eric and Abbey still think the elevator is the best part of any trip...

Will try to take some baseball/summer pictures tonight. Eric's season is already over and I didn't take one. I suck.
