A Fun Filled Weekend

WOW, we had so much fun this weekend. We spent the entire weekend outdoors. With temperatures near the 90's it was way to nice to be inside. We have to soak up all the sunshine before it gets to warm to go outside during the day.


We started Saturday off with a birthday party for Tucker, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TUCK!!! The party was at Tumbleweed Park, which was the best park to play out, we were there for 4 1/2 hours playing and being with friends. The kids played and played, they sang Karaoke, okay only Hayden and Cameron sang but they did a great job entertaining everyone. Who knew Cameron would sing in front of the entire park, I had no idea. I wish I had my video camera to capture it.















Morgan joined in the fun as well by playing on the playground toys and playing ball with Colin, they were so cute together. She thought she was one of the big kids today, she is growing up sooo fast, right before our eyes.




What would a birthday party be without treats, Jody made some cupcake ice cream cones and the kids got to decorate them. As you can see Cameron just loved it, and yes I am a mean mom Morgan had already had enough sweets that day so I did not let her have one, but she didn't miss it at all.

By the end of the day Morgan was pooped and Cameron was eager to get home and build his new Lego toy he got that morning.

On Sunday morning, it was my turn to sleep in so I started my day by getting up at 9:00 which was wonderful sleeping in. We had plans of going to the zoo, my kids' favorite thing to do. So I got our lunches packed and we waited for Aunt Lori to come over and off to the zoo we headed. We never really see many animals with the path we take but the kids have a lot of fun. Cameron has his route all laid out and we pretty much do the same thing each time we go. We eat lunch, check out the ducks, look at a few animals and then get snow cones, which is one of my favorite things to do with Cameron, and then we head home.

With Aunt Lori there we had a little more flexibility on doing some things. I let the kids dig for worms, which Cameron loves to do. Morgan helped out as well. We did find a few worms and Morgan held her first worm. Once we set the worm down Morgan tried to smash it and we knew it was time to move on to the next adventure

After the worms we were off to the petting zoo but first we stopped off to check out the turkey. Morgan was running over to the turkey cage and before I could catch her had her fingers on the wiring and a turkey bit her finger, this scared her quite a bit. She bled a little bit and today it actually looks a little worse, but we called the doctor and she will be fine, no weird turkey diseases or anything. She was a little timid once we got in the petting zoo probably thinking one of the goats was going to bite her. I guess I don't blame her.

After the zoo we headed home and to see what dad was up to, we then decided to go work out in the yard, which very much needed it. We spent about 3 hours working outside and then headed in for the evening. The kids were exhausted and so was I. But we had an awesome fun weekend.
