A Free Friday (Good Friday)

You will notice that I didn't have much to say about March. The month flew by just doing day to day activities but the big focus of March was birthday parties. The boys attended approximately 7 birthday parties so we were always on a mission. This included soccer games, sky jumping (trampolines), ceramics and sports.



To start the first Friday of April, we headed to DeFazio park where Connor's kindergarten class did a community service project. We were at the park to help pick up trash and clean up the environment. The good news is that the park really didn't have very much trash laying around but the kids did a great job of cleaning up the park anyway. Then, they had a long play date, soccer game and even an Easter egg hunt (thanks to one of the mothers).

Then, we headed off to the zoo. It turned out to be a fantastic idea. Since the weather was pretty cool out, all of the animals cooperated and we really saw them all moving around and in action. The kangaroos were jumping around - we even saw the brand new baby kangaroo.  Then, we went to the Gorilla exhibit and saw the entire family, including the newest addition.  Much like Emily, the new gorilla had them all on their toes.
The kids actually loved seeing all of the animals including the hippo which is camouflaged in the back of this picture.

It is funny the little things in life that kids love.  I bet Bob the Builder would be happy to have all this help for his construction company.
I always love when the kids stick their heads through the animal cut outs.  First off, I think they are adorable.

Secondly, when you only see their faces you get to see how similar they all look.

Finally, I love that Emily likes to do whatever her brothers are doing and this is something she can easily do without any help.  And she loved it.  She would come around the side and check my camera to see what she looked like.  Smart girl!
Garrett (Mr. Wild Kratt himself) took charge and pretended to take the family on a safari.  He has such knowledge of animals and his imagination is unbelievable.
What a great Friday!
