Updates

Last weekend was so busy that I didn't plan anything for this weekend.  Sometimes we just need a weekend to regroup and hang out.  Last weekend we had Our company annual picnic on Saturday and on Sunday they had a special day at the zoo.  At the company picnic, we got our arms painted with flowers.  It was suppose to be the face, but we weren't quite that brave.  Then Sasha got some cotton candy(it was circus theme), but Leeza didn't want any(she does not like sweets).  After that we went and got our pictures taken in the circus tent(should have pictures in another week or so).  Then after the first potty stop of the day, we went went to the mobile zoo. There we got to pet a ferret, hedgehog, snake and look at a bunny and owl who were still in their cages.

This snake is always out at all the zoo events so we have gotten to pet it before.  Grandma loves this photo-Ha!  I think she thinks the snake is going to eat the girls.

THe raptor club was there also and we got to see the hawks.  The girls were scared to pet them as the birds do not look kind or gentle so we just took a picture.

Then we went over to the fun area where we went in 2 different bounce houses.  One was a big pumpkin, but I never took any photos.    They also had a tunnel you could crawl through, but Leeza refused to go in adn Sasha came right back out saying it was scary.  We also tried the inflatable obstacle course, but the hills were too tall to climb.  WE then went to eat where Ronald McDonald was suppose to be.  He had just left.  I guess Ronald only stays 2 hours and people told me he was a really old Ronald anyway.  After that we went and Sasha sat in the firetruck, but did not want to push the siren as it was too loud.  They both got fireman badges and hats. Sasha played fireman for the rest of the day.

Then we ran around the dance area for about an hour wearing out Mama and several other people.  We all got to take a bus back to the parking lot so Sasha was really happy she finally got to ride in a bus.  She is jealous of Leeza riding the bus everyday.

Sunday, we went to Grandparents day at the zoo.  They were able to pet the same hedgehog, snake and ferret again.  They also got to pet a HUGE camel.  I couldn't take a picture while we were petting it, but this is the next family petting it.

His name is Seymour and he is really nice.  His feet are huge.  His fur was very soft.  We also got to pet a baby alligator which was fun.  Leeza was not sure about that one.  Sasha won a free train ride while playing chicken bingo(you get a number and if the chicken poops on it, you win).  We rode the train which we do every visit.

Here we all are riding the train.  This time Sasha got her face painted with a rainbow and Leeza had her upper arm painted with a rainbow.  They also went up to the clown and got balloon animals made for them.  Sasha got a puppy and Leeza got a butterfly.  THis picture was about one minute before Leeza popped her butterfly balloon.  Sasha's lasted until we were almost home than she popped it.  The little kid behind us had his lips painted at the face painting area.  Why his mom allowed this-I don't know, but it looked bad.

After all the activities, we rode the carousel on the way out.  They always take a while to warm up to it, but like it once it starts up. 

No naps either day so it was a long weekend. This weekend we had naps both days and they went to sleep fairly easily.  Mama likes naptime.  I took a nap also!
