my grandpa harold drove the boat and i waved to everyone we passed.
 

my mom was the queen of the floating styrofoam lawn chairs.
 

my mom used to wash my hair in the kitchen sink.
did yours?

lemurs, llamas and tantrums

we went to tangayika wildlife park.
i had no clue what this place was so i was impressed with what i say.
and the kids LOVED the lemur exhibit.
 


 you were not allowed to pet them but they can jump on you if you let them.
 
 


this was sean's not-so-subtle way of encouraging the lemur to climb onto his lap.
 

craig was wearing camoflauge....at least in the lemur exhibit.

the goats were noisy. 


yes...you are correct....you eyes are not deceiving you.
it was a FAMILY night.  all 7 duerksen's in attendance.
not all 7 were happy about it but we did it...and survived. 


annie fell down towards the end of out time and never recovered.
she cried for a really long time.  
she finally yelled "UGH!!! why did i w'run in my flip flops?!"  so mad at herself.
and later when getting in the car to go home "i am not going to run in my flip flops ever again"
yeah right.....

shhh...don't tell craig

waffle isn't allowed on the furniture....
when craig is home. 


i am supposed to kick him off too but this was way too cute.

he likes to watch clifford.  
and he is cuddly and warm to sit by.

i will keep your secret waffle.
