June

 The last day of school was June 3rd.  Kindergarden at Parkway has been such a blessing for Micah and Savannah.  And that is mainly due to Mrs. Pettijohn.  Mrs. Pettijohn came from Alabama so her husband could preach at a local Baptist church.  Her love for God was apparent in her daily actions.  She even started "Good News Club" at Parkway, which is really an after school Bible Club.  So next year the twins will still get to see Mrs. Pettijohn once a week for club.  It has been a great year. 

The week right after school got out we bought a pass to the Aquatic Center, went to the river and then drove to Washougal to see Grandma and Papa Kanooth.  Our weekend was full of cousins and fun.  One night we stayed at Katie and Aaron's new home.  Savannah slept with Racheal and Micah bunked with Thomas.  We also got to ride the pony at Andrea's house, and have a game night with them.  We hiked Multnoma Falls with Grandma and Papa. And got to spend quality with Aunt Lairen.   It is always so nice to be with family. 

A highlight of our trip was on Thursday.  Tom and Jeannie worked at the temple, so we spent the day at the Portland Zoo.  After spending money on admission, parking, and renting a stroller Leif decided that we needed to spend the whole day there.  So we got to see every exhibit and some of them twice!!  While we were watching the loins the male lion was pacing back and forth.  He looked worried about having such a big audience.  Then this lion backed up.  He had his bum right in front of Micah's face.  And he peed!!  His urine went right onto the glass in front of Micah.  It was so funny.  Later a zoo worker came up to Micah and told him that lion urine was good-luck.
