Zoo Day

We love to take the kids to the Reid Park Zoo in Tucson. It is a nice small zoo that is easy for the young kids (and old parents) to walk. The animals are easy to see and the price is unbeatable!!! So I took the kids to the zoo last Monday and then we went again as a whole family this past Sunday. The first day- it was chilly and overcast. But on Sunday it was sunny and 70 degrees. It was the perfect day for the zoo and a picnic in the park! So here are just a few pics and at the bottom there is a really cute video that Scott put together!

Splish Slashing at the Zoo

On Wednesday, Scott and I took the kids down to Tucson to go to the zoo. Because of the rain, it was "only" 96 degrees that day. So this will be the last time the kids get to go to the zoo until October!!! (We have a membership and go often!)

It was still rather warm (and humid!) so we had the kids play in the water area to cool down. It turned out that all they wanted to do was play in the water!!!! We have sprinklers and a hose at home. Why is it so much more fun at the zoo?!

I was warm too. So I got in on the fun. Scott was a party pooper. : ( He said that he has a problem with getting wet. Whatever!!!!

Now we saw real turtles, but for reasons unknown to me, this fake one was more exciting!

My Wild Things

This is going to come as a huge shock to most of you, but I didn't take any pictures over the weekend!!! Wow!!! I will have to make up for it this week! I think we are going to do 3 Easter Egg Hunts so that should help!!!!

In the meantime, here are a few pics that I took when I went to the zoo with the girls and some friends from high school last week....

On Saturday we took the kids and the dogs to the park where I met up with another friend from high school. (Thanks Facebook!) Then in the afternoon we went to see the movie Monsters vs Aliens. I, personally, did not like the movie and Laynee was a real pill!!!

Then on Sunday, Scott took the kids to the park to ride bikes. And in the afternoon we went to my parents house for a family pizza party. We had to say goodbye to Pa, as he leave for PA this week.

Today, the girls and I are going to do some baking and some crafting!! Pics will be coming!
