The Zoo and beyond....

Wednesday we went with our friends the Alcalas to the zoo. Evan is 4, Sydney is 2 and Isaac is not yet 1. We all had a great time. We saw lots of animals and tried lots of things. We checked out the Elephants, Giraffes, Rhinos, Primates, Kangaroos and much more! We went to the kids area and played in the water, climbed on everything and petted animals. It was a gorgeous day! It was sunny and warm and perfect for a day at the zoo! We ended the day with a ride on the carousel where the kids has a blast (except Sydney) :( And the moms got a bit dizzy! Either way, the day was a success! (a success meaning, we all had fun, we all got tired and we came home and napped, and Mom didn't go insane!)

The rest of the week has been crazy! Dan left early on Thursday to go down to Austin for Wrestling State competition. The kids missed him lots (well for that matter, so did I) until he got back on Sunday afternoon. We had stake conference this morning and thankfully we were able to sit near friends who were very helpful and thoughtful (THANK YOU Gillian!!!!) and the kids managed to make it through 2 hours with mom only going slightly crazy! :) Either way, it was nice to have a Sunday where the kids got naps. So we survived the weekend with no daddy and while we aren't looking forward to doing it again next weekend, we know we can make it through.

We had a blast at the zoo with you! Thanks for inviting us. Aaron was an angel during stake conference. No point in both of us being in the hallway! :-)
