Fathers Day, Fort Mandan,History, Chinese food and the Zoo.

For Fathers Day we decided to venture off and go do something different and fun! So we ended up here at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center. It was very interesting and they did a great job of taking you back in time, very educational although more educational if you didn't have a 3 year old with you, or at least our 3 year old with you!
The girls walking with our guide out to the Fort. They gave her the run down on their new shoes and us visiting from Idaho...
*Lewis and Clark built Fort Mandan and stayed there for the Winter, Chief Sheheke welcomed them with a promise of friendship in 1804/1805*

Here's my 7 month belly shot, perfect pic, I'm covering my 5th chin!!
*Lewis and Clark discovered 122 animals and 178 plants that were new to Science. So we walked the Fort Mandan history and nature trail to see the world as they saw it 200 years ago!*

Lexi and Dad

Must have shoulders of steel, I could never carry them!
Along the walk.
There was a park on the way out that we stopped at and let the kids run wild, even Uncle Robby got in on a game of tag!

This picture shows exactly how everyone was feeling, Preston was so done and ready to go get some food!!

Chinese, Chinese, Chinese... what can I say it's the best!!!
Happy Fathers Day Chris!
Our kids are unbelievably lucky to have someone they think hangs the moon, reaches the stars and is Superman all in one night! Your their world and I know they are yours which makes me the happiest girl ever!

Last week my mom and I took the kids to the Bismarck Zoo, they loved it! They had a great variety of animals and it was very interactive. I love that my kids love the zoo so much! We were very happy to cross another Zoo off our list, very exciting for them to have went to the Salt Lake Zoo, Bismarck Zoo and hopefully the Minot Zoo all within a few months time!

Lunch time

Preston feeding the Deer.

Lilly loved all the goats.

Lexi with the Golden Tiger, 1 of 13 in the world!
We got our monies worth it alone just being able to pet the Deer, they had a pellet machine by the exhibit and that Deer just let the kids pet him til their heart content as long as they were feeding him! Only Lexi could touch his antlers though, which was neat!
Great week and now I'm tired!
