Our weekend!

We had a great weekend! The boys and Dennis had Friday off so we met a some friends at the Stuttgart zoo. With all of us together we had 11 children in all! It was like a school trip! LOL We all brought a packed lunch and had a picnic together in the gardens between seeing the animals. The kids had a fabulous time!! Of course, in the hussle and bussle of getting everything together to go, lunches, baby stuff, blankets, stroller, I completely forgot my camera.... commence the stone throwing! I know! I'm terrible at this!!

The zoo is giant!! You wouldnt think so since it's smack dab in the center of the city but it's unbelievably big. They have a ton of animals!! The children were more interested in climbing on all the monkey gyms and running around chasing each other though. LOL OH! and speaking of monkey gyms, my favorite part, they had a gorilla nursery there. They had baby gorillas and there were cribs and play pens in there. They were so so cute!! I love baby gorillas!! There was a lady with them feeding them and cleaning up after them like a little daycare. So cute!!

We spent the entire day there. We got there at 1030ish and didnt leave until after 4pm. When we got home, Dennis and I just CRASHED (Elizabeth too)! The boys were still raring to go, so we just told them to play quietly in their room and let mom and dad go to sleep. I dont think they stayed up much longer though. haha!

The weather has been just gorgeous, today is no exception. Dennis is out grilling and the boys are bouncing around outside. Tomorrow we're going to walk over to a friend's house and go for a hike. Let the children all run around and play together!

I'm so happy winter is over!
