Tigers!!!

After a crazy, fun, busy week of construction with the Packards we took a few days to work hard and get our kitchen to a very livable stage. Then, our bodies started giving out and we got less and less done each day--we also had to do our school work which didn't help. To celebrate our new kitchen we invited the Petersen's down to play and take a break. Instead they came in asking how they could help us finish up. They are amazing! So, we have relaxed and played but also got some of our finishing up jobs done! As a matter of fact Joe is just now finishing up the floor. It is awesome!

While working/shopping today we learned that there were tigers at the mall. Yes, if you can believe that there were tigers at the mall in Galesburg. So, we did a quick clean up and headed right over! I mean after all how can you pass up live tigers less than a mile away.

We arrived and the boys (and girls) were very excited to see all of these beautiful baby tigers. The oldest was 6 months old and pretty big for such a youngster. Then, we learned that they will let you pay to go in and play with the little ones. Well, with my little animal lovers I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. So, here are some fun pictures. I am pretty sure that Jacob and Collin loved it the most and the tigers loved them too! They are very soft and playful. It was a great trip and a great weekend!
