MLK Weekend

MLK Weekend this year was filled with lots of soccer. I always play in a local soccer tournament with my women's team so I had that but this year Everly also had a soccer tournament. She played 4 games I believe and did really well. I also had 4 games but we lost in the semi finals. I wasn't too bummed though because it meant that instead of having a game Monday morning, I was able to take the girls to the zoo with my sister. Since this was the week we were leaving for Disney, Justin stayed home to get stuff done around the house. It actually worked out really well. I sure do love my long weekends.

Everly always has a fan club

Is there a cuter bunch???

Nora is still nuts


Don't mind Cam just pounding that donut!

Winter Break Zoo Day

During Winter Break I had some time off so I met my sister and the kids at the zoo. We got there pretty early but it was not too cold. I heard it got really busy later in the day but thankfully we avoided any crazy crowds. We started with some donuts and the giraffes before heading out to see the dinosaurs. We are really getting full use out of our dino pass. Also, I believe we have created donut monsters. These kids can't go to the zoo without donuts now! Lou lou the rhino was out so that was cool to see and we also used some vouchers to see Rudolph in the 4D theatre. Everly and I have actually seen it before but she really wanted to see it again. We also got to see the tiger, baboons, prairie dogs and bobcats. I don't know if I have ever seen the bobcats walking around. They totally smell like cat piss. I love that we are members and get in early because the zoo was just starting to get busy as we were leaving. Yay for avoiding crowds!

Friday Zoo Day

I was off last Friday so after taking Everly to school Aspen and I headed off for a quick morning at the zoo. It was a little chilly that morning to start but we were prepared. Aspen was really into wearing the hat and gloves. She also had her beloved donut holes. We opted out of doing the dino trail that day but saw lots of other animals. We saw the flamingos acting crazy and took a ride on Crocket the Camel. She was very funny seeing the tiger and of course we had to hit up the carousel before leaving. It was a really great morning. She is really at a fun age and I just can't wait to take her to Disneyland next month.We had a little Starbucks date that afternoon and she just kills me. Also, I love Portrait mode on my phone!
