Zoo Trip

Savannah watching the Cheetah. She wants one as a pet. She thinks Tabby, our cat, would get along nicely with it.

Savannah holding Ryker's hand. Dylan felt left out so he stuck his hand out for Savannah to hold as well.

Jenn and Ryker on the train ride.

Here we are on the train ride. I had bought some cotton candy for Savannah right before the ride and she was begging for me to open it. I didn't want to open it right then because Dylan would want some and I didn't want sticky hands. So I was looking for an excuse not to open it, when I saw a sign that said no food on the train. I pointed out the sign to Savannah. And then, Savannah (with her favorite question) asks why? So, I explained that the animals would want to get on the train and eat it. So she held on to it so tight the whole ride. When we went past the Buffalo she started freaking out. She seriously thought it was going to come and eat her precious cotton candy.

Swimming Lessons

Savannah with her new goggles. Of course she picked pink!! She hates water in her eyes so I wondered how swimming lessons were going to go. She loves swimming lessons and she actually puts her face in the water and gets water in her eyes.

Here is my little monkey in the water. He loves to splash and splash and splash. By the time it's time to go home I am completely wet from his splashes.

Zach thinks he is too old for swimming lessons and doesn't like to go. But I let him swim while we are waiting for his class to start and the new water gun from his birthday party helps.

Zach Birthday Party - Classic Fun Center

Happy Birthday Zach!! Zach is the last to have his birthday out of all his friends. He got to go to many birthday parties before he had his. He chose to have his part at Classic Skating. The boys had so much fun. They didn't want to leave. They rode their scooters, played laser tag, bounced on the giant inflatables and played tag in the jungle. They had a blast - their hair was soaked with sweat! It was disgusting!

Here they are getting ready to play laser tag. On the ride down to Classic Skating the kids were talking about playing laser tag. Zach's friend Jack yells out, "Zach's really easy to get." Well, needless to say Zach's team was the losing team. But that's okay he had tons of fun shooting guns!
