Baseball Finally/ Zoo Trip

Somehow I'm a weekend behind... so I will quickly recap last weekend, not this past weekend.  

 Friday night M had his first ball game of the year-end tournament. I tried to get a babysitter, but she was busy, so I stayed home with the kiddos.  

 Saturday morning M had a few more games, so we took the kids to the first game and they both behaved soo well!! I actually got to watch some of the game!! Don't get me wrong, they were busy, but it was good!! A good way to end the season. I decided to take them home before the next game, which of course Noah didn't want to, but we didn't pack a lunch, so we went and picked up lunch. We came back home to eat it, and I managed to get the kids down before everyone arrived, as we were hosting the ball party. Unfortunately the weather was pretty cool, but we cranked the heat on the pool, so the kids could enjoy swimming.              

 It was nice to have everyone over and catch up with everyone, considering I don't make it to many games anymore. Both Noah and Emilya are pretty sure we need a bull dog puppy    
    

I mean it was super cute.... 

 I pretty much failed at taking pictures because it was soo busy. There may have been more kids than adults!! But everyone seemed to have fun. We had a steak supper. This little girl was exhausted by the end of the party!!

We let Noah stay up until everyone left which was 8:30, so past his bedtime, and he was tired, in fact all the boys were, considering this is what they looked like when we were saying goodbye:

   

 Sunday morning we decided we were going to hit up the Brantford Zoo. I love how small this zoo is, just perfect for the kids age!   The kids were pretty excited for another adventure family day!! 

 

There is a petting area right when you go in and this girl was a huge fan of the goats.... 

She hugged every single one...

 

 

We quickly learned that Em is like a little animal whisperer. We saw EVERY animal at the zoo, with the exception of the lynx. Even if animals were sleeping, they would wake up when she walked by and not because she was screaming either, she was soo happy!! 

 Noah wanted to feed the deer again:  

We were finished by 12:30, so we grabbed some lunch on the way home and did our best to keep the kids awake on the way home again, which meant M in the back with them and me driving. But it works. And it ensures down time for everyone if the kids don't skip their nap. We made it home with smiles:

Miss Em was pretty much smiling the whole day, she has such a personality and I love watching it come out more and more. 

After the kids nap we enjoyed a swim, despite the air being cooler. Crazy to think by now we would have our pool closed, but we have extended our swim season with the pool heater. 

It was a fun weekend!!
