Sunday Funday

Nana left this morning, and the girls (and Steve and I) were pretty sad. We know we will see her and Yoinkie again this June, but the house seems a little empty and quite boring without her there.

We decided to get out of the house and head to our standing weekend playdate. Late in the summer when we were new to the area, we randomly met another family at a playground. All of us would show up to the playground at about the same time every Saturday, and after a while it was something all of us looked forward to each weekend. Eventually it became too cold to head to the playground and they very nicely invited us to their house instead. Since then we have been to their house, they have been to our house, and we have met elsewhere to eat, see Santa, etc.

Anyway, today we met at their house for bagels and then headed to a local nature center which features a number of animals. All of the girls had a great time (they have a daughter in between Lucy and Caroline's ages and another on the way) and we even managed to get out before Caroline had a meltdown.

Caroline loved the cow

 

 

and the goats

Throwing food to the horses

She loved all of the animals, but Caroline actually cried when
we made her leave the horse. Nana would be proud :-)

It wouldn't be a Soden outing unless we stopped to play with rocks.

And then Lucy randomly stopped to lay down in the middle of the path:

"What are you doing?"

"I guess it looks like fun. I'll try it too."

What a goof.
