Ariel went to the Dominican Republic to visit his family for a couple of weeks before Jessi and the kids joined him.  So that meant that we got to spend some extra time with the kids to help out. 

 It was a tough job!

 One of the days we went to the zoo.

yep, after all those awesome animals, I think that Josiah was most impressed by the construction vehicles that were working there.  Here is is demonstrating what the claw is doing.
