A Week in Review

I can't seem to find time to blog as much as I want but this is what we did 2 weeks ago. It was a full, fun week. On Tuesday, we went to the zoo with our neighbors. We started at the penguin exhibit right at feeding time. It would have been pretty interesting if the keeper had stood somewhere that the visitors could have seen her better. We did get to see a little bit, though.





Meet our neighbor/friends: Domonic (3yrs this week), Amy (mom) and Lincoln (1yr).




Domonic was not too impressed with my kids' funny faces.


Joey and Claire each got one of these suckers since Joey can't have ice cream.



Claire ate the top half inch.

Joey turned his into a weapon and went to town.

A peacock was wandering around outside the food pavilion

and opened his feathers for us.



We went to see the new meerkat exhibit. Outside the exhibit is a meerkat den for the kids to climb on and in. Claire found a dung beetle and a replica of its meal of choice.


Joey finished his sucker inside the den and


our neighbors posed as smiley meerkats.

Later in the week, Joey refined his Wii skills

and was rewarded with a pack of water balloons for sleeping all night in his own bed for 8 nights.

Friday night was Mariner's night. This was after the game. We had fun but were tired at the end.

Here are some videos of Joey playing Wii (because I think the footwork is so funny) and riding his new bike for the first time at a park on the weekend.
Oops, I can't get the videos to work right now. I will try to post them later.
