Arboretum/ZOO-- Spring Break

We were able to head down to the Arboretum a couple of weeks ago with some friends from church. It turned out to be a beautiful day. The kids were good, just busy as always. (you would think with all the running I do I would be able to shed a few pounds huh?) Sam was camera UN-friendly yet again, so there are NO pictures of a smile from him. Molly was just too busy for the camera to snap, so of the nearly 180 pictures that I took, I only have a few half way decent ones to prove that we were there.Molly LOVES dirt. Does not matter where we are or what we are doing, an area of dirt seems to just call her name. This was the first picture of the day, but it did not matter, I have about 30 more just like it!! notice the way she is sitting---( looks just like Sam.)
notice, more dirt...
We were then able to hear to the Zoo the next day.
Here is the group we were with, Lots of kiddos, none wanting to be photographed. Check out Molly the clepto--she tried to steal that little girl's sippy cup a few times that dayNot many places to take pictures at the zoo. BUT there is a cute turtle figure that Sam and Hanna of course wanted to ride it, so what a perfect opportunityonly there were 3 little boys that kept jumping in as soon as the camera appeared. They would NOT leave either. wish you could have seen Sam and Hanna's faces.. they did not care for the intruders either.

Once they finally left, Molly was on the scene. She is a good tormentor, she loves to pester Sam... here is one of her favorite ways:Yup, she pulls his hair.
Then the 2 big ones have a hard time deciding who gets to sit in the front... and they both start crying... Of course Molly could care lessWhew, it has been a long long day, the big kids get to ride the carousel, Aubree and Molly just have to sit, wait and watch...
