Yellowstone National Park

 This was the first time I got to see baby buffalo.

 Here's Emily while we were looking at the hot spring geysers and the paint pots.

 I thought this was a neat looking vehicle.

 We ended up getting to see Old Faithful go off twice while we were there.

Here's my dad - Beware of the buffalo!

Tautphaus Park Zoo

 When my dad and stepmom were out here visiting, we all went to the zoo in Idaho Falls.

 This was my first time ever getting a picture of the red panda at the zoo. Every other time I've been there, the red panda hasn't been out.

 Devon loved watching the penguins, so he thought this guy was especially cool.

Porter Park

 When my dad and stepmom came to visit in June, we took the kids to play at Porter Park in Rexburg. They don't get too crazy about going into the water, but they still have fun. In the picture above, Lizzy and Daddy are splashing each other.

 Devon's not looking too happy at this point.

This is Devon's favorite thing at the splash park. He loves turning the wheel so the water will come rushing out.

Devon's First Day of Preschool

 Devon wanted to wear his Thor shirt for the first day of school. Not a big surprise there. He has on his Spongebob backpack and was all excited to go to preschool this morning. He told me about coloring and learning letters and songs and playing with Legos. He said he liked his teachers and the other kids there. When we got home, though, Devon was very clingy. I think it will be an adjustment getting used to being gone from home 3 mornings a week, but I'm sure he'll do fine. His school is less than 5 minutes away, which is nice. It's actually in the basement of a woman's house. She came highly recommended, though, so I'll be excited to see what all Devon learns from her this school year.
