On our last fun Friday outing with Nana Jeanne and Papa Steve, Sara and the kiddos headed to the Wildlife Zoo kinda by Sara's parents house. What a great place this is!! It's amazing how close you get to the animals!
And the little blockades that keep them from you!
Seriously, so close!
Trevor sure enjoyed carrying the map around and telling us where to go next! He loves maps!
Trevor played on the playground for a bit before we had lunch. Sara will never forget how on one piece of equipment (chain link balance bridge of sorts) two kids knocked into each other and one of the kids just stayed where he fell onto the ground. Sara knelt down by him to ask if he was okay and he couldn't even talk. He just had tears running down his cheeks. With the way he was sitting Sara thought he might have landed on his wrist but Sara's Mom ran over and said she thought he just got nailed in the privates :( Poor kid. Another kid came over to Devin to see if he was okay and Sara asked her to go get an adult which she did. The classroom helper walked over to try to help but he was in so much pain and in Sara's opinion she wasn't really saying the right things given the situation so Sara went in to Mommy mode to help Devin. Eventually he did get up. Sara is now thinking she is going to attend every field trip that Trevor and Ashley go on so as to always look out for her kids. If only we could just keep them in a bubble.
Anyhoo, we at Dillion's BBQ right on-site. Yummy food and there was an aquarium to keep Trevor entertained. Our boy was wiped out from all of the activities and had no problem falling asleep in his car seat within minutes of leaving the zoo. So precious!
Friday evening John and Pauline came over for cheese pizza (or in Sara's case dairy-free chocolate chip and walnut waffles). They also helped us hang up artwork that Pauline found that would work perfectly above our fireplace. Nothing like putting an extension ladder on top of the fireplace sitting area, watching Brian climb up with artwork in hand and just praying he didn't tip over and fall flat on his back. Just a few attempts and modifications were made and the artwork was hung without injury! Looks perfect! Thank you so much Pauline for finding the pieces and Brian for being brave enough to hang them up!
