Bear World

 Hanna and JoAnn

    First stop on our fun filled day Chuck A Aama.  Who knew kids could have so much fun at a restaurant.  Hanna said "This is part paradise, we will have full paradise when we get to bear world, this is just a paradise day!"  The icing on the cake for Hanna a mixed slushy!

 Justice was over the moon excited every time he spotted an animal
 Grandma and Kabree thought it was pretty great too!

 Our tour ride
 These bears were so dang cute!
 Isn't that the cutest little bear face?
 They followed us through the whole park


 More rides
 Keagan was a snuggle bug
 They would have rode the rides all day long if we would have let them
Grandma JoAnn was just as bad as the kids

    We went to bear world on Tuesday and had so much fun!  My Mom and I have wanted to go for the last 3 years and finally two weeks ago I told my Mom we should go together.  We asked Heather if we could steal Hanna and Justice for the day too and I'm so glad we did because it made it so much fun!  I loved it and the kids loved it even more.  We drove through the park and the kids were yelling and pointing at every animal they saw, they were still just as excited pointing to the last bear as they were the first animal they saw        
    After we drove through once we decided to check out the rest of the place.  The kids got a kick out of watching the baby bears get fed and play but once they saw there was rides it was all over.  They LOVED the rides!  They had to ride on each one 3 times before we could head over to the petting zoo.  The petting zoo was pretty fun too because it had dear that loved attention and their was the biggest dang pig I have ever seen just laying right in the middle of the creek (I didn't get a picture of him though).  Kabree was fascinated by the "rocks" that had holes in them and music came out : ).
    After the petting zoo we decided to go on a tour guide trip through the park.  They let us feed the bears too.  The kids thought that was the neatest thing ever, we couldn't stop laughing at how the bears would beg and moan for food.  Some would even open their mouths and try to catch the food in the air without having to get up.  Definitely a highlight of the trip.  
    After our tour ride we headed back over to the rides, the kids were so tired they started crying when it was time to go home.  We did a quick walk through the gift shop for some fudge and stuffed bears.  Kabree and Justice fell asleep before we hit the freeway they were so tired.  We had so much fun and will defiantly be doing it again!

Keagan's 2 month check up

 Our growing Keager's
 These two love each other so much!
 Her half smirk
 Her favorite way to be, in her bouncer, has her binkie,
snuggled in a blanket (& the blanket has to be touching her cheek : )

    Because we had to go to the doctor so much the first 3 weeks of her little life our doctor let us slide until this week for her 2 month check up.  Keagan weighed in at 11lbs 5oz and is in the 55th percentile.  The doctor laughed when he saw her and asked "is this the same kid?  I cannot believe how great she is doing, so alert, gaining weight like a champ it's perfect.".  We are pretty dang happy with the change as well.  Kabree was pretty stressed out over Keagan getting her first round of shots but Keagan handled them like a champ and only cried a little, then she just frowned and looked around like why did you do that.  We are so happy our little cupcake is doing so great and we couldn't love her more if we tried!
