Wild Weekend

Our weekend fun started Friday night. The kids and I went to the Leyvas' house for a dinner playdate. Lexi is 6 weeks older than Emerson, and Paisley is 2 weeks older than Jax, so we have a lot in common! It was so much fun being pregnant with Kyna both times. Anyway, our husbands were at a meeting together, so we let our kiddos play and we chowed on some Pei Wei. Yum!

Saturday began with a morning trip to the zoo. Emerson thought the monkeys were pretty fun until one of the mommies let her baby dangle and drop from her arms. Emerson started to cry and didn't want anything to do with the monkeys after that. In the petting zoo area, she immediately went up to a goat, grabbed its neck, laughed a somewhat sinister laugh, then spent the rest of the time fascinated with running around in circles, oblivious to the animals. She also enjoyed the playground.

After two-hour naps for everyone, including Mommy & Daddy (yippee!), we played with sidewalk chalk on the driveway while Daddy mowed the lawn.

Here is Emerson displaying what we affectionately refer to as The Stinkeye. Gotta love it. Notice she's mixing things up a little bit by throwing in a thumb-suck and a hair-twirl. She's multi-talented, that one.
