It's been a GREAT week so far!! We've spent just about every waking moment outside, and it's been WONDERFUL!! Such a change from last week -- when the heat and humidity forced us either inside the house or in the pool!
Yesterday we went to the zoo with one of Katherine's friends from preschool, his family, and my brother. It was such a gorgeous day, and the kids had a fantastic time!! Since the last time we were there, they added a wonderful play structure for the kids in the petting zoo area. It's a super cool climbing structure with a maze, slides, and a million nooks and crannies for the kids to explore. It was definitely the hit of the day!! After they got their fill of the new playground and sandbox, they went straight over to feed the "stinky fish" as Katherine calls them. Feeding the koi fish and the goats are always a fan favorite!!
On the way out we stopped by the new Bald Eagle exhibit. Katherine and Caleb just looked at them in amazement. The eagles were huge, and by far the largest "bird" they've ever seen. Katherine had a million questions about what they eat and where they live, and Caleb just kept yelling "DUCK" which is what he calls *anything* that falls into the bird category! LOL.
Since the heat stayed away for another day, we decided to hit Adventureland this morning. We arrived around 10:30 and I had planned to stay until 2 or 2:30, but as soon as we got there, (literally we were in the parking lot), Katherine started complaining of a stomach ache. I took her to the bathroom and she was screaming in pain. 20 minutes later, we got on our first ride. We went on the carousel and the train, and the whole time, my poor little girl was in tears ... doubled over in pain, but didn't want to leave. So after 2 more trips to the bathroom, she took off her shoes and crawled into the basket under the stroller and laid there while Caleb went on a ride. I finally talked her into leaving, with the promise that we'd stop by Grammy and Pop-pop's house. Not sure what was bothering her tummy, but as soon as we got to mom and dad's house, she was fine.... So tomorrow, it's back to Adventureland we go!! This time we're picking up my brother, Isaac, on the way!
OK, onto other things.....
As a disclaimer, I'm not big into "character" type clothing. As a general rule, my kids don't walk around with Winnie the Pooh on their shirts, and their rooms are not decorated in Disney babies. With that being said, I did break down and buy Katherine an Elmo sweatshirt when she was head over heels in love with the fuzzy red monster, and tonight, when I was at Target, I fed Caleb's CARS fetish and bought him a stylin' set of jammies.
When I got home, Matt, Katherine and Caleb were outside playing with the neighbors, so I took the bag containing his new jammies, and told him to open it. HOLY COW!! They're a HIT!! Matt didn't think he'd be too interested, but HELLO.... he wanted to undress immediately. So I put his jammies on in Matt and Jodi's driveway, and he ran around in them for the rest of the night. As soon as we got home he started running around the house yelling "KA-CHOW" at the top of his lungs. It was hilarious!

And you didn't get jammie pics? What is wrong with you, woman? LOL I think I'd give my left ear for Morgan to sit down and watch something for TWO minutes. He has no interest in the TV other than turning it off when I'm trying to watch something.
Made your black bean salsa yesterday and ate half of it myself, sooo good!
What did the kids think of the Kinder Surprises? Did you get any good toys?
Ok. In regards to the Bald Eagles, Aunt Christine can answer all the questions that Katherine has. Aunt Christine can even take Katherine to see the Bald Eagles at the lake in the winter time. Would she like to go? We would take the binoculars, the spotting scope, and treats.
