On Saturday we took the kids to a local rescue zoo. They had lots of animals that were either hurt or abandoned by (dumb) people who thought having a giraffe in their garage would be cool, until it wasn't. Anyway, this great zoo saves the animals and all profits go to running the place and rehabilitating the critters. They had a big feeding area with pigs, goats, etc and both Asher and Hadley loved feeding them! There was also a safari ride where we saw the bigger animals in their enclosures.
What's a trip to the zoo without a car picnic? ha ha! We'd planned to eat in the the shade somewhere but all the tables were taken and Asher couldn't wait one minute longer to eat so the car it was. Making memories here folks. :-)
Our community pool opened so we took the kids swimming on Monday morning. Hadley is fearless to the point of being dangerous. She'll jump right in whether someone is there to catch her or not. Needless to say her new life vest is on the way. Asher, on the other hand, is our cautious guy. We had to coax (and coax. and bribe. and threaten) him to get in but he finally did and had a great time! Swim lessons start for him tomorrow so hopefully it will be easier to get him in the water!
After swimming we had my parents and grandparents over for a BBQ. Hadley took charge of all the cooking. ha!
The kids took over the chairs outside while the adults were chatting inside. After some serious lounging and conversation...
They were ready for popsicles. A & H love them some pops. All American kids, I tell ya.
Notice Hadley's little pinky sticking out? I die.
All in all it was such a great weekend - couldn't ask for more!
