L.A. Zoo

Matt and Micah had their first trip to the zoo on Friday. We went with 4 other moms and their kids. The ratio was 8:4! We were a bit out numbered! I think if we had gone with high expectations about how the day would go we would have been disappointed but we didn't so the day was good! After 10 bathroom breaks (3 of the kids were 3 years old), 5 snack/lunch breaks, 10 nursing breaks (2 of the kids were under 5 months), 20 melt down/tantrums, and 1 much needed ice cream break we saw some animals! On the way home I asked Matt what we had seen at the zoo and he said in this order, "monkeys, elephants, ice cream, and giraffes." Overall it was fun. I want to go back with Karl because it would be nice to have a better adult to kid ratio! The pictures are of Matt touching a snake and me carrying both boys despite having a double stroller! That was following one Matt's melt downs! Matt has been asking over and over to watch his Elmo movie about wild animals! I think he had a good time.
This weekend Karl did a running presentation with his boss and running buddy for the community. It went well and they had about 20 people attend. They spoke on shoe prescription, strengthening and stretching.
The rest of the weekend we will probably spend around home. We have talked about going to the snow, but we will see. Hopefully you are all having a nice weekend.
