Good Times!

We are thankful that the weather was warm this weekend (after lots of rain and hail last weekend) so the kids could get lots of play time in outside. We had a great time visiting the farmers market, pretending to be animals, playing at the park, and just being downright silly!

Here are a couple of shots taken during the week. Natalie and Amanda posed before heading off to school to send daddy good morning wishes since he was traveling. What a wonderful way to be greeted in the morning!



While the girls were away at school, Will pretended to be a monkey. He was getting ready for our trip to the zoo this weekend!







Here we are at the zoo. Mom and Will look for the sleeping snow leopard who hiding behind the water fall.





Natalie and Amanda love their brother, Will, so much, and they love playing Mommy...not wanting their little brother to wander off on his own, they both asked to hold his hands as we walked past the flamingos.






The monkeys at the zoo were playing to the audience screaming, hollering and swinging all over the cage. They were so entertaining that we all stopped at the bench to watch for a few minutes.







Here is a great photo of Amanda and daddy.






And one of our little model, Amanda.







Will loves climbing on anything that comes within reach. These are bleacher seats in front of the giraffe exhibit. Obviously, the bleacher seats are more entertaining than the lumbering leaf-eating long neck beasts.






There is also always time for a quick slide. Here, Will tries his luck at the spiral concrete slide in the zoo kids park.








Here is our little butterfly, Amanda.







And our safari expedition leader, Will.






Natalie give the safari expedition a try...although, it seems it is a little scary.









Another shot of Amanda from her model shoot.





Will was certain he saw a troll under the toadstool, so he went over for a quick look.







After the Sundays farmers market, we stopped across the street to visit the enormous kids playground. There are so many fun activities for them to enjoy, it is always a huge hit. Here, all three monkeys hang from the circular monkey bar, and hang on for a long time.











Will gets ready to go down the big slide solo!








Guess how long can I hang on the monkey bar?





Twin fun belly sliding down the double slide.







Natalie gives a smile and shows just how much she loves the kids park!
