Friday afternoon, my friend L dropped off her 2 youngest kiddos. The baby is a crawler, and my house is no longer baby proof since my 'baby' will soon be 7. I rearranged a few things so as not to entice the baby. We spent the rest of Friday here at the house and I knew that for my sanity I would need to get the kids out of the house for much of Saturday.
The baby slept until 8:45 at which point, I woke him up cause his breakfast was cold. Plus, we needed to get on with our day. After lunch was prepared and everyone dressed, we loaded up in the car and went to a pumpkin patch. The kids had a blast. It was family fun day, and everything was free. There were quite a few games, a firetruck to explore, sand art to create and food everywhere. They were offering free sno-cones, cotton candy and popcorn and I spotted some lunch stuff as well. The kids opted for the cotton candy. Each kiddo, save the baby, picked out a pumpkin to take home with them as well.
Next on the agenda was the zoo. Due to traffic being diverted to a different highway, we had lost some time so we ate our lunch in the car.
We finally arrived at the zoo, and when I was driving up to show my pass (free parking for those with a zoo pass) a bee flew in my car! We were all freaking out. I opened all the windows and the darn thing would not leave! It flew by baby and K tried to get it off of him. She put a bag on baby to protect him, but inadvertently trapped the bee. Thankfully nobody got stung.
Once in the zoo, we moseyed our way along the paths. We only stayed at the zoo for a few hours, but that was long enough. We saw most everything they wanted to see. By that time it was almost 3 o'clock and baby had fallen asleep in the stroller. Plus there were bees everywhere which made our decision to leave that much easier!
I had a stop to make, and on our way out, the sales lady told me that my kids were so well behaved! Woohoo!! We got home at about 4:30 just to leave to do another errand shortly before 6. Afterwards I took the kids out to dinner and then home just in time for baths and bed!!! I had feared that Saturday would be my hardest day to keep them entertained but all went well!
Sunday we went to church and then came home after lunch for naps! L picked the kids up around 5'ish. What a fun weekend we had!
After they left, E, K and I left for another church family fun fest that I had heard about. They were able to play more games, jump in a few bounce houses and have a totally healthy dinner of nachos ;)
