Zoo Days

We have really been enjoying our ZOO Membership (thanks sisters) this year already. One day last week it was so nice outside....and within minutes of waking up the girls wanted to go outside and play. I quickly realized we needed to go DO something, so off to the zoo we went. The other nice thing about having a membership is you can splurge a bit on treats like ice cream cones before we go!!

Date Night with Marmee

Marmee took Angelica to a ballet recital a couple weeks ago. Aunt Alli was singing a couple songs at it, which I need to post as well! Angelica has grown up going to shows and LOVES it. She got to wear a new dress Marmee got her for her birthday...insisted on wearing her pearl necklace and bracelet and having a purse. (I realized we need to get her a dress purse.) It was so cute she wanted to put money, chapstick and tissues in it and she did!! She was so excited and had a FABULOUS time and now wants to do ballet even more!! Thanks mom, she had a great night!

Fries and Fountains

One of our favorite places to go as a treat is the Fritz European Fry House in downtown Bremerton by the ferry. They have a selection of dipping sauces you can get for the delicious fries and the girls love the chicken strips. So we usually get some chicken and fries (the beer is good too!) and enjoy sitting out by the water fountain. The girls LOVE it and also chasing the seagulls and watching the ferry boats go by. Last week we made our first trip of the season. It was a bit chilly so we ate inside, but didn't stop the girls from wanting to play in the water fountain!

School Trip to Zoo

For our Z week, we decided it would be fun to go to the zoo. We have season passes to Point Defiance Zoo so that is where we went. We had PERFECT weather and a great time. All the animals were awake and active so that always makes it more fun. The kids do love the Kid Zone and never want to leave, hopefully we will have many more trips there this summer!!

Getting more daring and making mama more nervous!

She loves to slide Sweet Sisters

Emma would feed the goats all day long if I let her or had enough quarters

Enjoying first trip to the Zoo

Another favorite...although not happy that we now have to pay to ride...ridiculous, we are filing a complaint!

They wanted to ride on the sleigh together

Tacoma Children's Museum

Back in April when Megs and Albert were in town, we went one day to the Children's Tacoma Museum. We were even able to walk there because my sister Caitlin lives right down the road! It was our first time there and the girls LOVED it, might have to get a pass. They had all kinds of different areas, block mats, a kitchen shopping station, gardening area, arts and crafts, movie time area etc. The girls made necklaces, built towers, painted, played store and loved these Magnet Slides to build with. We were there during bubble time when they walk around and make bubbles all over for the kids to pop, lots of fun....definitely going back!
