Zoo!

Today was a busy day here. We first received word that our new nephew, Finn, was born over in Holland! We are happy to hear that he and his parents are all doing well! We can't wait to see how he looks and hear all about him. :)

We had plans to go to take the kids to the zoo and that pretty much took the whole day. Luke was a very good boy and got to walk most of the time and didn't whine too much when he was asked to hold our hands. He got to pet and brush goats, ride a pony for the first time, ride on a carousel, ride on a little train, pet a cow, see a peacock with it's tail feathers fanned, pretend to hatch out of an egg, play African drums, and see lots of cool animals! He pretty much liked everything. Charlotte was her usual, content self and slept in the stroller most of the time. We managed to even stop at a few stores and eat at Applebee's together with no fits or meltdowns so it was a great day!


Note to self: If you try to hug a goat... it will probably try to eat your clothes... and if you yell, "No, stop it!" and run... it will probably chase you...but you probably will just think that's funny.
