Before we had to send our cousins back to Iowa, we made a quick trip to the zoo and the littles were very excited.
We got to see the giraffe's up close at feeding time.
Madelyn kept us on track as she read the map and told us where to go.
Turns out Santa's reindeer were on vacation at the zoo following their busy night of delivering presents across the world. Isabelle decided they were quite stinky and in need of a spa visit.
We also visited the monkeys who were busy picking bugs off of each other.
Yep, they came right up to the glass too.
The kids liked climbing on the lizard statues.
And Isabelle even pretended to drive the tractor.
After the zoo we went out for lunch and Gabriel ordered this massive plate. I told him there was no way he could eat it all and despite eating tons of chips and salsa before, the kid finished it all. I'm not sure we are going to be able to afford their growing stomachs!
Yep Michael's growing too. Thankfully he can still eat off the kids menu... lord these two can eat!
Madelyn loved getting to play with her new Sunny Day dollies. She has loved having extra days at home to play.
And we made a few day trips to the park including one day when the kids got to ride the train.
The two boys chased after the train.
And then it was time to try to get some chores done before we head back to work. Dad and Gabriel took to tackling the trees that hang over our back fence and thankfully didn't fall into the pool.
Isabelle made bath bombs that she got for Christmas and was very excited to take several showers.
Madelyn decided she loves to wear stocking hats both inside and outside.
And one day when Nana and Papa came over to help us with a few more chores, Dad and Papa worked hard while Nana and the kids worked on making a gingerbread house. Can you tell how much fun they had?
Until next time,
Angie
