We love the zoo

Friday morning we got up and had plans to meet my sister and some friends at the zoo. My sister as it turns out woke up sick on that day. However I did get to see two of her kiddos because her wonderful mother in law took them up to the zoo herself. I had picked up Samuel to spend a little more time with him before we left Saturday morning. Then we were off to the zoo. We met our friends at the end of the trails and made our way over to the new elephant exhibit. We really didn't get to see much on that day because that was the day it was opened to the public. It looked neat and when I go back I will visit it and get more of an idea what it's really all about.



My kids had a really great time hanging with their friends and I also did with mine. It turned out to be a beautiful day. I just wish I had taken more pictures.



That night I had plans to hang with my amazing friend. I decided to have a cheat "meal" on my diet and I had Chinese and she made the most yummy cake-balls ever! We just hung out all evening/night talking and we also watched a movie called "Like Dandelion Dust" very good movie! It was written by her favorite author Karen Kingsbury so I knew it would be great. I am not a reader but I really enjoyed one of series. I just wished I had finished it I took a break after the first 4 or 5 books and just never picked them up again.



I think it was around midnight when I got back to my Mom's. I was so happy when I got there to see that she had done all of our laundry. I really wasn't surprised though she does that a lot! It is so great not to have to pack up a bunch of dirty clothes to bring home. Especially since we would be getting home at about 5 on Friday evening and leaving for Lafayette with Anthony for work from church Sunday around 4. Thank you Mom for all that you do for us! Not just the laundry but everything. The kids and I really enjoy staying with you when we are in Oklahoma!
