The DeWitt's VS. Indy Zoo


It is terrible that it has taken me so long to get back on this blog and write about the neat things the kids have been up to. Shame on me! Anyways last Friday Hannah, fisher and Rory were out of school because of the wonderful Madison IN Hurricanes that kept them from there education. Darn! We decided to meet up at the Indy zoo for a day of fun. It was so great to see everyone since I really haven't seen familiar faces in our new town of Kokomo, IN. All the kids were excited to get together and spend time with each other. The big kids were excited too!


At the Indy zoo they have a shark touch tank. It was wonderful! What a neat experience. Fisher was the first to dive his hand into the water and Preston shortly followed.We stayed at the shark tank for quite awhile since we wanted to make sure everyone touched a shark. As we continued on we came across the seals ( I think that is where I took this pic). I absolutely love this one! In fact I have another one with the seal swimming that when I get a chance I will put the seal in this pic so it looks like the kids were actually looking at something. In the mean time I thought this was super cute!The Walrus seemed to really like the DeWitt boys! He kind of just hung out there for awhile.Finally we went to see the reptiles. This was Candence's favorite part of our trip! She even sat in the snake. Nothing like getting two pictures of the kids! Poor Aunt Kristen wasn't feeling to hot but managed to make us all laugh anyways. She thought she was stuck, but no worries!


Here is a picture of Aunt Kristen caught in the action with my kids feeding the ducks cheerios. They all enjoyed it!

Chase enjoyed pretty much everything that happened through the day. Hannah took him around and made sure he was enjoying everything. Preston loved going on the chug a chug a boo boo as he calls it. I will post more pictures of our day later, but I just wanted to share a few now!

I really enjoyed my day. It is so wonderful to be close to family. That is truly the most important thing in my life. I hope to be able to continue these wonderful adventures through Indiana and to always keep family close by! I love you all, thanks for a great day!
