Fun Weekend!

We had such a fun weekend! On Friday we went to the zoo with some friends. It was so fun! The girls had a fun time on the carousel. Sophia absoltutely refuses to ride an animal that goes up and down so this is a good compromise.

Everyone had a blast playing on the playground. We don't usually hit this part of the zoo but they could not get enough!
While everyone else played Mabel pretended she was a turtle,
Rode on a alligator,
And sat on a spider.
She had quite the day! After the zoo we decided to head to the aquarium since we were up there anyway. We had fun there as well. Lilly couldn't get enough of comparing herself to these penguins. I seriously could not pull her away.
We came home and I let the girls have a movie night in my bed. It was pretty fun!
Another fun this week is that Lilly started to write her name! I had no idea she could do this. I kept asking Sophia if she helped her but she said she wasn't even by Lilly when she did it. It's funny how she writes it though. For example, she dots the i first and then starts the line of the i at the bottom and goes up. Whatever works I guess!
Saturday we went with some family to the Rock and Gem show in Spanish Fork. It was pretty great! We've gone the past few years and the girls always have a fun time. Lilly is showing her free rock in this picture.
They also had a good time pretending to be eaten by these dinosaurs.
Lastly here's a bonus shot of the Mabes looking so cute after church yesterday. She's working on getting a top tooth so she's been a cute but slightly cranky baby lately. We still love her though!

Wow. The zoo and the rock and gem show sound awesome. Very impressed with Lilly's writing, too. And looks like St. Patty's Day was tons of fun. What a clever teacher.

Fun! I notice a certian someone missing in all the activity... hope you are surviving! And yay for Lilly, what a smartie.

Ok, you must be full of energy (or maybe I'm just not...) But the zoo and aquarium in one day. I think I'd be exhausted. Looks like lots of fun things though. Mabel is darling!

Fun Zoo trip- that totally cracks me up about Sophie- And you should have taken some pictures of your girls by the gorilla picture like you had taken when you were little. Way to go Lilly!! She is amazing. Mabes is adorable- I love her sweater

Looks like you are keeping yourself busy through tax season. Good luck! It was so fun to catch up the other day.
