Amazing Weather

This weather has made a night and day difference in my attitude and zest for life lately. I know that sounds pathetic, but it's true. Yesterday we spent all morning on our deck and all afternoon in the front. And today at the last minute, we decided to head to the MN Zoo with my friend Tara and her two kids. Jack is only 6 months older than her oldest, Taylor. And Finn is only 3 months older than their youngest, Riley. The kids have a lot of fun together. And Tara and I always have fun talking and catching up and trading mom talk. Thanks again Tara. We can't wait to go and visit Tara's husband (one of Tom's best high school friends) at his work, the fire station. Hopefully we can do that within the month or something. Here are some pictures from the zoo.

All of the kids all ready to see some animals

I only let Finn out of the stroller once at the very end in the aquarium section (not counting lunch time of course). Poor guy, but if you've ever seen him on the go, you'd understand why I kept him trapped :-)

How cute is she?  Oh little girls.

We let the older kids play at the park for a while. Jack was in HEAVEN. I love how independent he is and how he waited his turn for the slide without me telling him.

Look at how huge this cow's eye is! Jack loved trying to touch this cow. So funny.

It was a great day! We love being outside and enjoying the fresh air. It's so nice to feel that Spring is finally in the air!
