Boo at the Zoo

-
We love our zoo and go all the time, but this was our first year, however, to do it's Halloween-themed Boo at the Zoo. I was really excited about this because my kids LOVE the zoo and LOVE halloween, so I just thought this was going to be the BEST THING EVER. It was fun, and I'm not saying it was bad, but I just had such high hopes. Anyway, the kids enjoyed it and got alot of treats, so I am glad we did it.

Captain Walker
They are not angry- they are saying, "AARRRRGGHHH!"
Daddy and his girl
They spent forever just watching the mama lion and her cubs. They really were cute- wrestling and biting each other- hmm, not that much different from the Ballard den! (not really, I don't have any biters. But, I do have wrestlers, and hitters, and...)
Getting treats at the treat stations (you got coupons with your ticket, and each time you went to a treat station, you gave them one of your coupons. I guess that's how they control the amount of candy given out)
This is a favorite pic- she was watching the otters swim around

I felt the same way about Boo at the Zoo. We didn't go this year for that reason. It seemed like we had so many other Halloween options to enjoy! It was fun previous years but I think they could tweek it a bit to make it even better...

Fun Family Weekend

Jason was off Saturday, and I was really looking forward to a family weekend. He usually works Saturdays, but when he is off and we get 2 days in a row all together, we are so happy!! Friday night he called on his way home from work, and told the kids to get dressed in their cowboy boots, we were going somewhere. The kids got so excited, and ran to their rooms. Lucy got some new cowgirl boots for Christmas (2 pairs, actually), and has been wearing them alot!! They got all dressed up in their cowboy stuff and we waited for Daddy to get home. He took us to Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and he invited my sisters, too. It was so fun!! I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday party, and the kids had a blast; sliding down the slide, dancing on the dance floor and eating yummy steak. It was such a fun night!!! If you wear a tie, they cut it off and put it on their wall!! He wore an old tie on purpose The weekend just kept getting better!! Yesterday, Jason and I had a great date ni...

Well, you find things like this in your backyard: There are lots of fun things about living "out" here and having more than an acre of land to explore. We have roadrunners, roosters, chickens, lizards (apparently!), bonfires, and lots of fun. The kids were so intrigued. They have really developed a love for animals and outdoors A close up of our friend

Happy Spring Break to Walker and Lucy!!

This week Walker and Lucy are off from ARK School. They are actually NOT excited, they love school!! Caitlin is home this week, too, though so that is fun. We had a great weekend to end my break and kick off the kids. Saturday , we drove to a drive-in theater in Granbury. Colleen (my friend and Walker's teacher) told us about this drive-in and it was showing Horton Hears a Who!, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad there is still one around. Drive-ins are just one of those things I have great memories of and want to do with my kids. At the drive-in, with a good spot. Being comfy in our jim jammers!! Enjoying our picnic dinner. Fruit skewers, pb&j roll-ups, and cheetos!! Sunday , we had a great family lunch at mom's, then it was off to the TCU Easter Egg Hunt. The kids looked so cute, and had fun hunting eggs. However, they could not be persuaded to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or Super Frog. Oh, well. Lucy, looking around for some eggs Showing off his loot! My...
