Alexandria Zoo & our First Sunday

Saturday we went to the Alexandria Zoo thats only about 7 mins from our hotel! It was a pretty good zoo for being a small town! Kirsten bought us all a train ticket so we rode the little train that went all around the zoo! The weather wasnt too bad...just humid!

Julian, Kirsten, me, Hannah, Everette, Ariana & Tammi



This bear was the best! He actually got up and was playing around! He got into the water and started playing with things and trying to eat the leaves and flowers in the water! While people were watching and taking pics he started looking up at them! I couldve stayed there all day and watched him!



This tiger was just staring at something...i think it was the white tiger in the cage next to him! He was totally in a trance! 

An Albino Peacock! 


These little orange monkeys were so cute and had lots of energy! This one was just hanging out in a hammock with a baby on its back! 


While we were looking at another animal we kept hearing "hello"..."hello" and I looked around to find this bird just looking at us through the fence saying hello to everyone! haha

Tammi's little girl Ariana kept pointing at the animals and saying "Its so cute" haha



Sunday morning we slept in, got up, got ready and went to church! It was nice to have time to sleep and get ready cause church started at 11 instead of 8am like back home! The ward was really small...not even all the benches had people in them! As we were waiting for sacrament to start I looked up and in walked the missionaries....and one of them was a friend of mine from high school, Jake Bawden! I totally forgot he was serving around this area! When it ended I walked up to him and he was so surprised to see me! He said "what the heck! what are you doing here?" haha I introduced him to Kirk and talked to him a little about his mission! 
We went to class then Relief Society and Priesthood! Relief Society was so small...only like 10 plus the sister missionaries! Afterwards I talked to the sister missionaries, they were asking about Jake, then Kirk and I went home! 
One of Kirk's favorite things to do on Sunday's is nap! So, of course, we took a little nap! 
I love Kirk so much!
