Out & About

To start, how about a stinkin' cute picture of Sammy?

Now, on to the post! :)

After a couple of weeks of sick kids, we need to get out of the house. The last week of January, we did just that. The last Wednesday of the month during the winter is free at the zoo, so I packed up the kiddos and we headed there.

We had a lot of fun! The weather was reasonably nice and the animals were out. Lucy really liked the giraffes and we spent a good amount of time there.

We also saw monkeys, tigers, and an elephant. Her favorite though, was the vulture - or in her words, the "bird with the funny nose."

Here's proof I was there! Some neighborhood friends were supposed to come too but I think the storm the day before scared them off. It was nice, though to just be us - kind of a relaxing, fun bonding time.

Two days later, Spencer had an all night Young Men's thing and I didn't feel like staying at home while he had fun so we went to the Children's Museum. Lucy loves that place and can play there for hours (which we did!). Grandpa and Nana Mac came with us for a couple of hours too and it was fun to visit with them.

Every time I go there I discover something new - we spent a lot of time upstairs in the building area which we haven't done before. There were all sorts of things to build with, including these giant legos.

Sammy thought they were great!

Lucy also built a path with these guys, which Sammy was all too happy to try out for her!
