The Cousins
I’ve been trying to blog for a few days now, but Scott’s Company something has been preventing me from logging on and adding a new post.
We had such a fun filled weekend with Shelley and Madison. It was a whirlwind, but we managed.
Shelley went with us to our first ever soccer “game”, we had her on the sidelines taking pictures, but she soon realized that no one was going to notice an extra “parent” on the field. She was right.
On Sunday the five of us went to the Wild Animal Park. My game plan is always to get there right as they open and leave right after lunch. That gives us several hours of good play time, and we leave before it either gets too crowded or too hot. Little did I know just how important leaving after lunch would be.
The park is really a great place for toddlers and kids, there is a lot of walking, but with strollers and willing parents, it’s pretty kid friendly. We started the day with tours of the play areas, before the other littlegerm infested kids arrived. We had full run of the play ground, although my boys were only interested in two things. This jeep made of stone,
and this one made of plastic. 
We did a lot of pushing, and a lot of walking.
By the time we left we had three exhausted toddlers. On our way out, the line of traffic trying to get into the Park extended more than two miles. The parking lot was filled to the overflow dirt parking area. I have never seen it so busy before! I was never so glad to have been the early bird!
Ryan took a shine to Shelley, he is such a flirt. He would grab her hand and look up at her coyly, and just give her the biggest smile. Evan does it too, only he's a bit more up front and in your face. He'll just stand in front of you and smile, smile, smile. But Ryan really WORKS IT!
Madison is growing into such a big girl. She is really starting to listen to what her Shelley says, and even her aunt and uncle. She was so good when we asked her to be quiet when the boys were sleeping. She would make a noise, and then put her finger to her lips and say "shhhhh" like she was reminding herself to be quiet. She has so much to say and isn't afraid to tell you! And she is such a sweet, sweet girl.
She had to give every animal in the petting zoo a hug. How Cute!!!!!
