October 22-23

We have had such a busy October! Last weekend we were jammed packed with fun activities. First we had gymnastics. Caleb and Kendall love it and are doing a great job. Caleb got his report card and has 10 skills mastered. He needs to gain 12 more skills to move up to the next level. Next we went to Aria's birthday party. Aria is a little girl in Caleb's class and the two of them have become great friends. We have had a few playdates together. Aria and Caleb do a great job including Kendall in the fun as well.

During the party there was a costume contest. Aria decided that Caleb had the best costume. He was beaming! It was very cute. Caleb is Shaggy this year and brought his pet Scooby with him.

After the party we went home and took quick naps, because we had big plans for the evening as well! I took the kids to a Hemmens to see the play Little Mermaid performed by the children's theater troupe. They LOVED it. Kendall is dressing up as Ariel this year, so she was super excited. On the way to the theater she marched along chanting, "Hip, hip hooray! I get to see Little Mermaid today!" The kids especially loved meeting the cast of characters after the play.

The next afternoon we went to Boo at the Zoo. This is a cute event that Brookfield Zoo puts on each year. The kids are able to dress up in costume and there are a few additional fun activities that they can do.
Here they are hugging the Fisher Price dog. They spotted him far away, and we just had to see him!

The kids also got to go in motorized jeeps. Caleb ended up with the pink jeep due to his spot in line, but he was a great sport about it. Unfortunately, he ran into and knocked over another little boy by accident. Oops! Luckily there were no injuries.

We also saw the dolphin show. Here is Kendall and I waiting for the show. The kids were very excited to see the show because we saw Dolphin Tails last month. I think that movie brought a whole new meaning to seeing the dolphins live. We were all pretty tired at the zoo because of our busy day, so we rode the tram to see all of the exhibits which was also fun for them. The driver and announcer were dressed up as well. All in all, a great weekend... but I need another to rest up from being so busy!
