Morning at the Zoo


Curt hasn't been to the zoo yet this year, so we thought this morning would be a great time to go together as a family. We went right when it opened and it wasn't too busy (or too hot yet). It was nice to be able to take our time without feeling rushed to move (with many more people waiting behind us).
Ben always likes to drive the safari car.
This hyena was really active today.
Ben wanted daddy to sit in the tent with him.
You can tell that he was really interested in taking a picture with me. :)
Playing in the big tent.
The leopards were jumping/climbing around today. It was really fun to watch them.
Playing the drums with daddy.
Ben never sat in these eggs before (because it's always crowded with other kids). He had fun playing in them today.
Ben went for a pony ride on Sadie. He rode on her last time and he specifically requested to ride her.
I've never seen the alligator this close to the fence.
Ben and Curt feeding the ducks and geese.
We finished up our zoo trip with brushing the goats...always a favorite. :)

Wow! the temperature must have been just right for the animals to be so active for you. Looks like it wasn't so crowded either, so maybe that helped. Looks like a fun day at the Zoo!

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
