How lucky am I? Sam and I got to go on the second grade fieldtrip to the zoo. It was just so much fun. These two brothers are the best of friends....and amazingly they just wanted to hang out with me the whole time. Favorites included the gorillas, giraffes, and new baby elephants. Garrett is so fascinated by anything sciency he had to read each descriptive animal placard to find out if they were venemous and what they ate and what their defense mechanisms were. It was FREEEEEEEZING but that didn't stop of us from getting frosties at Wendy's on the way home. How lucky am I to get to be a stay-at-home mom and go on fieldtrips?
Check out the elephants in the back!
The polar bears were strangely missing, and in their enclosure instead we found this scuba diver. I'm pretty sure the boys found this guy way more interesting than polar bears, especially when he waved to them. (Tank cleaning duties, I think. I'm pretty sure Garrett has found his career choice.)
In other news......
I went to my first Hope of America last Wednesday, and it was awesome! Can you see Cass? She was amazing! Really, I was inspired, and it was actually kind of fun to be there for 14 hours ( I brought my book) and R stayed home with the others so except for the uncomfortable Marriott Center seats it was almost like a time-out-for-Mom! The kids did an amazing job and I'm so glad Cassidy chose to participate. The tap-dancing Grannies were amazing! And Cassidy and I enjoyed a fun "date" beforehand at Cafe Rio. I love that girl.

Unrelated---The poor Star Wars action figures. They never had a chance...
This beaut was taken while we spent many, many hours at the dentist office....
Sam is an awesome dental patient.
Sam has awesome friends!
This treasure was taken at story time at Thanksgiving Point. They were technically supposed to be paying attention to the story, but the mirror on the wall was much more entertaining!
And finally...
It's here! Soccer-Soccer-Baseball season! Now if only the weather would start cooperating a little bit more, the games might actually be enjoyable! But hey, all three teams are currently UNDEFEATED so how's that for a stellar beginning? Let's Go CUBS and BLUE FALCONS and ORANGE CRUSH!

Have I mentioned how great it is to watch Cass play soccer? She works hard, and has fun - during both of those she always has a smile on her face...
