A lot has been happening the past few days around here, so that has been good and I feel like some of my "blahs" have gone away. Mike did have Friday and Saturday off so he was home as well, so that helped. But Friday we went to the zoo with some friends here and had a great time. It was so funny. They are renting a car, so they have this tiny little four door car that we we fit all 9 of in, plus she is pregnant, so practically 10 of us. I know some of you may be appalled knowing that we were in a car with kids without car seats. Such is life here. Although car seats do exist, not many people use them, and Friday I was thankful because we were able to cram so many of in the car and able to get out of the house.
The zoo....
...well, it was very interesting. Pretty run down and made you feel a bit sorry for the animals, but our kids had a great time! The first few cages just as you walk in are the Lions and tigers, which are pretty impressive, and you are only separated by them by two chain link fences, so it was kind of cool to be that close up and see how big and impressive these animals really are. Two guys that worked at the zoo decided to get in the cages with them and rile them up for our show. I was pretty nervous, that one of those lions was going to decide he had enough of these punks and have them for lunch. But nothing like that happened and we just got to see them growl and get bothered by these two.
Across from the lions there were some cages with pigeons, yes pigeons, and there were the ferocious house cats, a dalmatian and some mutt looking dog. Pretty funny, but entertaining at the same time. The boys had a great time!
The next day our friend had her baby, so we kept their two little boys for the day, who are good buddies with Caleb and Judah. So they had lots of fun playing and riding scooters and keeping themselves busy.
Today is back to the grind. Mike is off to work. The boys are taking naps and I am making cinnamon rolls to take up to our neighbors. I still have one of their plates that I have had since September, so I figured it was about time to take it to them. So, wish me luck!
I will post some pics of our adventures to the zoo soon. I need to do it on the other computer that Mike has with him to teach. So, until then....blessings!
