Innova family outing

To no surprise I am behind on blogging again!!!  Ahhhh.  Sorry, I'm trying to get back on track.  Seems like we are always having something going on - then of course Pinterest has taken much of my blogging time.  Sadly, I'm not a slight bit craftier than I was pre-pinterest Jessica.  However, I am very inspired and a big applaud to all you crafty ladies out there! We are getting close on that darn headboard - four trips to Joann's fabric and I am making progress (I in no way belong in that store).

Anyhow- back to the outing.  Two weeks ago my work had a family night at Blank Park Zoo.  Our first time to the zoo as a family and probably my first time there since junior high.  Sadly Keith and I didn't even know where it was at, we had to google map it! 

The boys had a blast seeing all the animals!  I know they told me a couple favorites and I can't even remember out this point (I guess that gives me another mom of the year point!). 

This pic makes me laugh - where did the giraffe's head go?

TOTALLY NOT AFRAID OF THE SNAKE!!!  Dylan went straight to it and touched it several times.  Just for the record, I will NEVER approved pet snakes or visiting snakes at the Bormann household. 

Tonight equals one tired mommy, grandma and two sleeping boys!

Keith is having a fun boys weekend in Chicago for a bachelor party, so mom came up to help me with the boys.  And we have been busy!
We took the boys to the zoo for the first time!  What a nice zoo we have here, it was my first time as well.  We got there right away at 9:00 when they opened, which was great because it wasn't too busy and the temps were great. 
The boys really enjoyed seeing all the animals and did so good the entire time.  There favorite thing was seeing all the fish in the big aquariums. 

They were pretty exhausted after the zoo, Dylan was asleep before we were out of the
parking lot.  Which I was fine with because we were able to put them straight into their beds for nap without a battle.

After naps we were on the go again!  We went to the mall to get new shoes and a few other things.  We figured they could use some time out of the stroller since we were well past our daily quota (maybe even monthly).  They had a blast at the play area. It has been a few months since we have been here and they are at the perfect age for it now.  I actually sat and watched most of the time until they started trying to escape. 

After we were done shopping, we went out to eat, went to Toys R Us and then to Creative Kidz.  We thought it was time the boys had some type of bike.  So far they like them.  So we played with these for a while and then made a HUGE mess of bubbles all over the deck.  Maybe it will rain tonight???
