Seeing that the last time I posted was before Hadley was even a year old, I'm not even going to attempt to "catch up." But I'm sure in this post it will be discovered (if not previously known) that we've since had a third adorable child, and her name is Macie.
We arrived in England on the 19th of August and have spent most of the last couple of weeks getting ourselves set up in the area. We're living on a military air force base until we find a house to rent for the next 3-5 yrs. I may share some of our house hunting experience here.
Today's adventure was at the Hamerton Zoo Park. It's pretty close to the base we are living on.
It is a small zoo that consisted of a lot of wallabies and birds. They had active lemurs and monkeys that were a joy to watch. We liked seeing two white tigers cleaning each other, several cheetahs pacing around, an orange tiger moving about, and some farm animals as well. The kids enjoyed petting donkeys and sheep, though the highlight for the kids was definitely the playground. It was a neat place with different equipment than we have a typical park in Missouri. I now realize I didn't do a great job at photographing the different play equipment, animals, or really much of our trip at all... so I'll do better in the future.

A foot maze Jon and Koen walked through.
Macie wore a good shirt for matching Zebras today.
This was Hadley's favorite swing. She would stay there as long as one is willing to push.
Little sheep are cute and fun to touch... and dirty.
Koen loved the zip line. I was about to try it out myself... but a herd of children came to wait in line for it so I held back like the rest of the adults.
Koen was so pleased that this goat ate a piece of grass he offered.

I'm so excited you posted!!! Looks like stereotypical English weather, since I see rain jackets. Or maybe it was just chilly.
I am looking forward to some of this blogging action coming back again :)
I am happy to see you are blogging again. It will be nice to see photos and get a sense of what it is like to live in England. It should be quite an adventure, and we are happy for you.
