Staycation

We have had such a wonderful staycation! We visited the Artbarn Tuesday (I took those pictures with my big camera so I will post those when we get home), Wednesday went for a hike, Friday the zoo, and this weekend the Warrior dash at the lake!
We managed to get to the zoo at 9:15. We had front row parking and didn't have to wait in line. Getting there so early we beat the crowd and had a pleasant time! All the animals were our playing and eating. The pandas were sleeping but the rest of the zoo was enjoying the weather. We were able to see all the lion cubs rolling around!!!

























Lots of babies playing around and hanging on to their mommy's. Loved having the opportunity to see them so close!


Know we are at the lake ready to take on the warrior dash for the third year in a row!! Bring on the mud!

Hiking and exploring

Today we went to Audrey Mill nature preserve! Mom and I took James, Henry, and Thomas. We had a blast checking out the turtles, frogs, and ducks! We went on to explore the historic grounds and then hiked the trails. So much fun and it is so close! Can't wait to go back.
Some of these photos were taken by Thomas:) He was a master photographer using my cellphone today. Out of the 50 he took these are the best.











Henry needed to make sure he had a close look at the creek while cleaning the bridge of pollen.
