zooOpolis

Our family is not taking a long just the four of us vacation. So, we decided we would do some day trips here and there, just the four of us.

About 2 weeks ago now, we went fishing and to the zoo. I am not a real avid fisher but O&O and JoJo enjoy. Raebug and I just snack:)

As for the zoo, I like that as did Raebug. We went to the John Ball Zoo and I honestly don't know if I would go there again. I just felt as though it was not as natural as say the Binder Park Zoo. Andi kept saying there were too many birds! haha. Favorite of the day were the bears and Penguins and of course I didn't get pictures of that! Isn't that how it always goes?

This picture is of looking at fish, which was entertaining for them!

the only thing better than 4, is 5

I am pleased to announce the Schrock's are expecting baby #3. Baby Schrock will make his or her arrival around January 9th.

Just wanted to let all my readers know what is going on with us.

1st try at olga's snackers

Tonight I took a stab at making Olgla's famous snackers. Not totally unsuccessful, but definately not right either. So this is what they are supposed to look like.

But this is how mine turned out...

I have the seasoning pretty much down but have to work on how to bake(or maybe fry them). Any suggestions let me know. But I made a steak & cheese olga for O&O and he loved them! Actually wanted to me to make more meat.

...this is what happens periodically while I am cooking...

Remember I want your input! Let me know how you think I could perfect the famous Olga snackers.

Fun Family Times

What is better than some great family times. Good food and laughs were had at the Brodbeck 4th of July party. My dad decided he wanted to have an annual 4th of July party. But, he and my mama had the opportunity to go to a church work camp. So my sister and I decided we would plan it. So we had a wide spread of grub and it was tasty.
We also got some pics of the grandkiddos together. And then my little JoJo tried getting everybody to take her pic.

Right here she is actually posing for my mama who was trying to take a pic of RaeBug.

Yeah...this is kinda how it went.

Hope you had a great 4th and cherish the time you have with your families.
