BUSY Friday

Today was a busy, but VERY fun day! 

While S was at school, C-man and I went and rode George the Train for the last time this season(they close on Tuesday for the winter) with some friends and then played on the playground until it was time to pick Sissy up!

We ate lunch in the car, and headed to the zoo to meet Baby Kiko!!  We were all so excited, but S and I were particularly excited about this new addition to our zoo!  I've shown the kids the giraffe cam so they've seen Kiko on the computer but seeing him in person is so much different.  Unfortunately, as babies do, Kiko sleeps - A LOT!  We attempted to see him 2 times while we were there and both times he was napping and all you can see of him in my picture is a hump in the grass.  Poor baby, he must be exhausted!  Guess I'll just have to make another trip to the zoo soon and try again:)

On the way home the kids were getting a bit out of control having missed naps yesterday, were up 2 hours past bedtime last night and then missed naps/quiet time again today.  The wining was off the charts so instead of going home and being miserable, I knew that the Wings of Freedom Tour was making a stop at Runway Cafe.  We stopped there on the way home and saw some awesome WWII planes(B-24, P-51 and B-17)!  We had a great surprise when we got there because we ran into Darcy and her family there as well!  There is a new park by the restaurant where you can picnic and watch the planes land and soon there will be a playground as well.  The kids enjoyed running around as if they were planes and rolling down the hill!  And, of course, there is just something so awesome about watching the planes take off and land that will surely bring us back to this park many times!
