Zoo, new friends and cousin Timmy

We met some friends at the zoo this morning. Ms Michelle and her boys, Brady and Tanner. I used to work with Michelle over 10 years ago but still keep in touch with her. The guys got along great! They had fun following and copying each other.....and sometimes even getting each other in trouble. We went to the children's section of the zoo first to pet the animals before seeing the main part of the zoo. They all liked the lion, elephants, giraffes and the seal at the end of our trip there. We were lucky that the boys did not want to ride the train outside of the zoo. We were ready to eat and for them to take a nap.

After the zoo, we met for lunch because the mommies were HUNGRY. The boys were too even though they had some snacks while at the zoo. Don't they look tired? hahaha They had so much fun that we are looking forward to the next time we get together.

We came home to relax before heading to the bike shop to bring Daddy something to eat. Then, we went to the bookstore next to the shop to pick out an Easter book. We had to hurry home because Aunt Lisa and cousin Timmy were coming over to play and have dinner. The boys had fun sliding on the little slide in the back yard and playing with the balls. Just as boys do, they both ended up with some scratches that we did not see until later when they took a bath together.

Collin had such a full, fun day that I thought he would go to bed earlier tonight. Nope, he was in bed around 9:45pm. He did his best to distract me from reading books so he could then go to bed ("Mommy, we need to wash the clothes. Mommy, I need a drink. I am hungry. Let's go see Daddy). I cannot blame him for trying.
