Fall Break Fun

With summer temperatures fading we made a final trip to the drive in and enjoyed watching "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". We really enjoyed this film. There is one part where a giant pancake lands on top of a school and as all the children run for safety they stop to look back and in unison reply, "no school". For some reason our children found this part exceptionally funny so more than anything we have enjoyed hearing the kids repeat various lines over the past few days.

Ballard children: (all at once and in very excited, loud voices) "And then they run from the school, and then they like turn, and then their faces are like this, and then they say, "no school".

We also faired the rainy weather in hopes of getting our first look at the new "Teton Trek" exhibit at our zoo. It includes grizzly bears, grey wolves, elk, sandhill cranes and trumpeter swans. Let's just say the girls were in heaven. They even added a lodge that replicates the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone and outside of it placed "Old Faithful".

Headin' for the Drive In.

The wolves were probably the girls favorite new animal - and the bears - it's a toss up.
