Today was my birthday, and I took it as this week's day off. It was a really great day for a birthday. I slept a little later than usual, and had a leisurely morning. After lunch, we went to the Akron Zoo for the afternoon... to get one last use out of our zoo pass before it expires. Benny really enjoyed the afternoon... especially the "quack quack", the "gobble gobble", and feeding/petting the goats. We left there, and found a few geocaches in Akron's historic Glendale Cemetery. Then, dinner out and a little shopping, followed by a stop at a park on the way home to play and grab one last geocache find number... 43.

Geocache find #43... on my 43rd birthday
A few weeks ago, the boys both had a field trip to the zoo. I took the day off and we made it a family outing. I got this picture of a trio of penguins... the two on the ends look ornery, to me!
Poor Ben seems to get slighted a little with the camera. We're taking pictures, but not as many a we did of Dylan and Zachary as babies. Jen seems like she often manages to hide from the camera, but I liked this one of the two of them.
Lily, looking cute for church.
Sunday was another beautiful fall day in Ohio. I took Dylan and Zachary hiking in the afternoon for some guys time out.
