This morning when Arnold woke up he was a bit sore, and once he stretched and moved he was really sore. Not sore enough to stay home but I told him I wasn’t ready to let him out of my sight just yet.
Instead we spent the day as a family. Since Arnold’s knee hurt when he left it straight he decided to keep moving. I figured this was the perfect time to get in a family outing to the zoo! We packed up our zoo stuff and headed out, without checking the camera battery! We got there and took our normal ‘pre going in’ photos so if the kids get lost I have photos of just what they looked like that day, on my cell and DSLR. Then we went inside!
With Daddy being there we did all of our ‘only with Daddy’ stuff. So we got tickets to see the stingray and the sharks, then we also got tickets to the camel rides! The boys were so excited to have their Daddy at the zoo. Normally it’s only Mommy!
Forewarning CRAP LOADS OF PHOTOS AHEAD!
We had lunch and did some more walking around in the fishy section (great barrier Reef) and then went to see the lions and some kangaroos. Arnold then took the boys to the section to see frogs and I went and got a Beaver Tail! It was soo good! I haven’t had one in I think a year or more! WOW I loved it, as did the kids!
We then took our normal train ride around (and for those who didn’t know the Elephants lost one this past week. Well we discovered that she was buried in their local graveyard).
Then it was home time! Arnold took a LONG nap and I got some cleaning done around the place, not a lot but some.
For supper that night we started to get everything ready to go to Auntie Kristinas house. We piled in the laundry and anything we had for supper. WE got there and Arnold crashed on the couch while I had Uncle Tim do some things in the kitchen to help me clean up so I could work on supper. We had supper inside since it was MUCH cooler in there than outside! The kids played around. In fact here are a few shots:
After supper and some serious play time we packed the boys up. Arnold took them home and Kristina and I met up with another friend Lindsay, for a well deserved break for me. We took Lindsay out for dessert for her birthday. It was a lot of fun! Then off to Walmart to do some grocery shopping then they dropped me off at home. It was good fun!
When I got home I was trying to be quiet but no need! Arnold was still up. His nap gave him a bit more energy! After watching a few episodes on the computer we went to bed.
