On the go

The past couple days have been filled with fun stuff for the kids. We started Saturday morning with a walk to Einsteins for breakfast. Ben couldn't get enough of his bagel poppers (which he thought were donuts)!After breakfast, we walked to Lakewood Park where they had Meet the Trucks. We saw a fire truck, ambulance, Coast Guard boats, garbage and mail trucks, a tractor and so on. Ben thought it was cool for about a second until he realized we were by the play ground. All he wanted to do was play.Saturday night, Jon cooked me my birthday dinner. We had the best ribs I've ever had followed by chocolate cake. Ben was nice enough to help me blow out and lick the candles! Sunday was our first picnic in the park of 2009 hosted by Cross Point Church. Ben ran for almost 3 hours. The highlight was getting to eat the candy from the pinata.Emma doing it her own way:This morning, about 15 moms, kids and friends went to the zoo. Even thought it rained and we went home soaked, we all had a good time. Sam actually managed to stay awake for half of it and got to see an animal or two. Ben found a new friend in Jessica. Right now both boys are sound asleep in their beds. Its nice to have some quiet time!
