Spring Time Fun

Yesterday Jett and I took the kids to Ross Park for a picnic and a fun day at the park. The weather was FABULOUS!!! The kids had so much fun playing in the sun ! I was so mad, however, because I loaded up the camera and was ready to take some serious action photos when I discovered that I left my memory card at home. BUMMER!!! I was so sad. Jett and the kids were rather happy. They get so sick of me practicing my photography skills. It was nice, however, to just sit and enjoy watching the kids play. When I'm taking pictures I don't really do that...I'm too busy waiting for the perfect shot. So, as I'm watching I can't help but take note of Lexie. What a sweet girl she is. No matter where we go she is always making a new friend. And yesterday this friend was a 2 year old little girl. She would help her up onto the jungle gym, help her down the slide, and just played with her the whole time. I'm sure the little girls parents were happy they had a free babysitter. She is such a little mama herself and I really enjoyed watching her interact with this little girl.
Anyhoo...we went on down to the zoo and we were pleasantly surprised it was open. We walked through the zoo and it was SO fun to see all the of animals. They were all awake and out enjoying the sun as well. Even the coyotes. I don't think I have ever seen them out and about. The big porcupine was giving us a show as well. Normally, he is just sleeping away but he climbed all the way up the tree in his cage. The kids had a super time. It was fun to see the new baby goslings that just hatched too. They were so cute following their mama. They were just brand new with bright yellow feathers! Precious.
At one point, Masi was getting pretty darn tired and we all know how she gets. She was sitting in the wagon and Tyke was pulling her. She just sat there on her thrown and ordered Tyke to go wherever she wanted. Sweating, Tyke is just working his little heart out. Geez. She would get so ornery and holler at him to "GET CLOSER!! GO OVER THERE!!!" Soon I had to intervene and remind her of how hard Tyke was working to pull her majesty around. The little stinker!!! Ha. Kids.
After the zoo, we went home and we all went for a quick bike ride before bath and jamas. It was the perfect evening to make a quick trip around the neighborhood a few times. What a super duper day! I LOVE SPRING!!!!
