Week 48: We are so looking forward to the weekend...it starts a little early this week - Thursday, Mary Virginia has a field trip to the zoo and then it is off to the beach! It was a week of school, girl scouts, and playing with friends; just like any old week! We did add a little chaos - it was Teacher Appreciation Week for John Bay's school. We had fun making "thank you" gifts for JB's teachers and fixing yummy treats to celebrate those wonderful ladies! They have made the school year so much fun for JB and they helped him with potty training! (I think that might be the best treat of all!) Thursday was a wild and crazy day, JB had Pirate and Princess Day and MV had a trip to the zoo! He was the cutest pirate I have ever seen and of course, he wouldn't let me take a picture. He had an eye patch, hat, vest, sash and sword. Maybe I can get him to dress up some other time for a picture! After dropping JB off, it was time to meet MV's class for their field trip to the Baton Rouge Zoo! The kids were all so excited. I think the best part of field trips for MV is riding the bus! We split up into groups to roam the zoo. This was our group as the girls were trying to get up close and personal with the giraffes!
We made our way to the petting zoo - I think the girls were more concerned with what they might step on and then washing their hands!
Their favorite part in the petting area was the groundhog tunnels! Two of the groundhogs were fighting and the girls could look up through the tunnels and watch!
And then it was time for MV's all time favorite zoo creatures...the alligators! The two in the front were huge, but nowhere near as large as the one in the back left and under the tree...it was HUGE (and MV loved it)!
Friday was Beach Day! After a crazy morning of packing the car and taking the dogs to the vet (always a fun experience - those are the pictures we need or maybe video footage), it was time for a quick lunch and to hit the road to the beach! We can't wait to see the Youngbloods, the Bagbys, and mom & dad!
I will put the pictures from the beach in another post!
