IF Zoo and Lots of Kids

Last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I watched my friend Shanna's kids while she went to a scout training and her husband was at work. They would come about 7:30 and leave at about 4:30 each day, so I tried to fill our days with activities. On Wednesday I had a doctors appointment, so one of my wonderful young women came and watched all the kids while I was gone. Then I took the kids to the park for lunch. Sadly it is the last week of free lunch at the park - which I am missing already!!

Thursday we went to the library for story time, and then played at the park for awhile. There is only so much that you can do at a persons house before you get bored.

On Friday I decided to take them to the IF zoo, which I have to say is way better than our zoo. The kids loved it, but Claire was ready to go once she got hot. I had packed a picnic lunch so we ate that, then loaded back up into the car and headed home. It was a nice break for everyone, and they were all quiet on the way home. The 2 two year olds actually fell asleep - yeah!! We had a great time, but were very glad when their dad showed up Friday afternoon. I was ready for a break!!
