Philip's Park Zoo


We had an awesome day today. We started with gymnastic lessons. The kids both did a great job listening and had much fun in their lessons.
Next we picked up Rachael and went to Philip's Park. This is a great little park a few towns over. It is totally free and includes a small zoo. We started with a picnic in the park. The kids love having these picnics. They think that eating outside is a great treat. What an easy way to have some fun.
Next we went through the zoo area. There were sme interesting animals. Kendall really enjoyed the tortoise and the snakes. Caleb loved the mountain lion and the otters. Most of the animals were very active today, which made it so interesting for the kids.
After the zoo we went to the pool. It was cooler today, and the pool was empty. We had so much fun! Caleb practiced swimming and floating. He had a great time racing for the rings. He also played monsters with Rachael and I. One of us chased him and the other rescued him. Where was Kendall, you might be wondering...Well, she refuses to leave the baby area. So, she found some kids to play with in the sprinklers, but pretty much played by herself. I wish she would try playing with us!
By far, my favorite moment of the day was when I dropped the kids off at home before I dropped Rachael off. Kendall stood and waved and shouted goodbye to us until we drove away. It was super sweet. I love when she shows her loving side. That smile was golden!
