having fun

For fun last night we took a walk down to the river to see if we could feed the ducks some rolls that were given to us that we hadn't eaten yet. Instead of ducks we ended up feeding seagulls as

the ducks were no where to be found!The kids didn't care, they just enjoyed throwing the bread to them. Today for some reason the kids were all up really early. So by the time we got to the Norfolk zoo for Jonas' class field trip at 9:45a.m. they were a bit cranky at times. Maddie had to come along since she doesn't have class today. It was fun seeing the elephants, which Eliza really liked, and we saw some baby pigs, and of course the prarie dogs which are one of their favorites because they can look at them in the cave! Afterwards we went to the park that is before you go through the entrance to the zoo, and had a picnic and the kids played. Don't you just love the little side ponytail that Maddie wanted today! She kept leaning her head to the side to make her hair feel longer! It made me laugh so I thought I better take a picture of it! The morning wore them all out, and Maddie is laying down in my room, Eliza is asleep in her bed and Jonas is laying down on the couch! I love this! Free time for me!! YEAH!
