The zoo...AGAIN!

We ventured to the zoo today...AGAIN! It is now Bennett's favorite thing to do. He wakes up every morning asking if we can go back to the zoo. So we did. It was fun. Matt got to go with us this time, which made it alot easier. I stayed with Jacks while he chased Bennett down. Seriously! That boy has issues. He runs away all the time and I have no clue how to curb that. I lecture and threaten, but he just rolls his eyes at me. On a side note from the zoo...Last Saturday I was cleaning the condo, getting it ready for people to come look at. One of my friends came and took Bennett with her family to the neighborhood carnival that was going on down at the church. About 30 minutes later, I heard Bennett banging on the door yelling "MOM!" I let him in, but Holly was nowhere around. He came in all wet, tearing his clothes off, announcing he needed his swim suit. He quickly donned his swimming attire and was ready to race back out the door. I realized right then, that he had probably escaped and ran home by HIMSELF! I got myself and Jacks ready to accompany Bennett back to the carnival and let everyone know where he was. Now that might not seem too scary except for the fact that we live on one of the busiest streets in Idaho Falls. Our church is located on 12th St and Woodruff. Our condo is on Woodruff. When I got down to the garages, Holly was walking up the driveway. She was so relieved to see Bennett. We all walked back to the carnival where everyone kept asking where he had gone. That night when Matt got home we were both thinking about how lucky we were that Bennett had made it home safe and sound. SERIOUSLY! What am I going to do with him!

Wow! I cant believe he walked all the way home by himself. You'll definitly have a story to tell when he is older. I love your family picture, you all look so good! Do you know when you are moving to Arizona? When you find out you better post it...that and your trip with Katie, I am so jealous!

What a turkey! I thought you guys were already in Arizona? I didn't realize you were still around! Austin is pretty much a Bennett in the making! You need to figure out what to do w/him so you can tell me!
