Aaron actually had a weekend off so we went exploring and discovered that Detroit has a zoo and it actually isn't a dump like the Las Vegas "Zoo".
This is Amphibiville, one of Tyler's favorite places, where we saw this little guy, the Panamanian Golden Frog, that was recently declared extinct in the wild. 
bye-bye froggy
The Polar Bear exhibit did not disappoint. The glass tunnel gave us a spectacular view of the bears (and seals in a separate area) swimming and playing in the chilly water.
I thought this was such a cute picture until I realized that Bret closed his eyes. Bret was more excited about the ball than the seal.
"Stop taking my picture Mom!"

Happy Thanksgiving! 
Here are a few pictures from camping at Proud Lake last week. Tyler said he liked camping more than Disneyland, but I liked the bathrooms better at Disneyland. The boys loved the tent, the campfire, and fishing in the morning. Yes, I really did catch that impressive fish all by myself.
