Dream Night

On June 1st we went to the Hogle Zoo for the opening of their Rocky Shores exhibit. They have been working on this new exhibit for a long time now (we've had a zoo pass for almost a year and it's been under construction the entire time...) and Primary Children's Hospital hosted a Dream Night which just means the zoo closes to the public and it was a private event for those invited by Primary Children's. It was great - they fed us Chick-fil-A dinner and we got to see the brand new polar bear, seals, sea lions and otters. I apologize for the delay in posting - I've been busy getting ready for girl's camp! (For those of you that are not LDS, girl's camp is a 4-day adventure where I take the young women ages 12-18 from our neighborhood camping up in the mountains and teach them outdoorsy skills and we have friendship building activities that you just can't get in the city. We read from the scriptures, pray to our Heavenly Father, sing songs and have fun. It is a spiritual experience that draws us nearer to our Heavenly Father and each other as we learn ways to better ourselves, seek new ways to serve others and lean on our Savior for guidance.

Anyway, the event was open to Primary Children's patients and their families. We invited my parents and Josh's mom and we had a really great time. JP had his face painted like Spiderman (he was so excited about it that we couldn't wash it off until the next day) and he got to meet a bunch of the local team mascots. We are so grateful for events like this and that JP has been feeling good enough to be able to attend! Here are about a million pictures of our night. I can't find my camera (seriously I just had it this morning...) so here are a few that Josh's mom took. I promise to get more up after the crazy week is behind me!
