A Trip to Greenlake

Grandpa Penman had a surgery a couple months ago, and has just been doing fantastic! I was really impressed by his amount of energy, and sense of humor :)

While he was up here for a visit, we all decided to go to the zoo! It was the first beautiful day in months, and for some reason we thought we would be the only ones wanting a zoo outing. Bad idea! The place was packed, and as we drove past the entrance, we realized that it would be a nightmare with the kids. We opted to go to a park, and let the kids at least do something fun. By the way, we aren't just talking about my and Jonathan's kids. This is the WHOLE family...Paul and Beth's 3 kids (Haddassa, Ethan, & Hannah), Steven & Andrea and their 2 kids (Caleb & Ella), Grandpa, Cousins Keith & Anna, Mom Hawkins and most of her kids (Michael, Elizabeth, Nanna, Grace, Miriam, Sarah, Daniel, Naomi, & Faith), and then Jonathan & I, and our kids (Jason & Tyler). 24 people!

Anyhow, we went to Greenlake, and although it was busy, we had a blast! Some stayed and played at the park, while most of us walked around the lake. 3 miles!! Whew! Whats crazy, is grandpa came with us, and half the time, we were trying to keep up with HIM. :)

Here are some pictures of the day.
