Life Is Good

A few weeks ago we went to visit Hill and Keith and the kids for the weekend. We had such a great time. We got there on Thursday night, so we were able to go have lunch with Sareny at school on Friday and then Jeff and I each read a story to Sareny's kindergarten class. I couldn't believe how well behaved the kids were. They listened so attentively! Sareny loved being "special" and getting to sit up in front with us. Isaac got kind of shy about it, but he loved it too.

This is the second time we have done this at her class, and it really is fun because it makes her so happy.

Of course Jeff and Keith went golfing after that, so we went to my favorite store, Hobby Lobby, also known as Hob Lob, and found cool stuff and lovely fabric. I bought some ribbon so we could make Finley and Sareny these adorable hair thingys. They are such sweet sisters.

Cute little Finney.

Sareny, with her cute little gap-tooth grin.

But then tragedy struck and Isaac got hurt. Here he is getting some lovin' and attention from Grammy after his mishap. He had to snuggle for quite awhile before he got over it.

Let me just say that it is virtually impossible to get a picture of these three where all of them have "eyes open, hair neat, expressions pleasant" so this one is a keeper even though Fin was wanting out of there.

Saturday we took the kids to the zoo and spent the whole day there seeing all the sights. The kids loved it. Sareny and Isaac rode their bikes around the zoo, which was really nice. It was amazing that Isaac, our resident couch potato, rode his the whole day!









Hill was trying to be the papparazzi and hid behind a tree to capture this famous couple..........

The above explanation about trying to capture happy smiles on everyone's faces (especially at the end of the day) applies here as well. Finley is fixated on some problem with her shoe and Isaac looks like he wants to cry. Contrary to how this appears, they had lots of fun!

Isaac would not ride his bike unless someone walked along and held on to his jacket. I think he was paranoid about going out of control on the slight hills. Funny kid.

The end of a fun, but long day at the zoo! What cute little kiddos.

Sunday we went to Church and had dinner, then headed home, even though Sareny begged us to stay. But then she remembered that Zander was coming over to play on Monday, so all was well! We had a fun trip and are already wondering when we can go again!

We had so much fun! I've been working on this post today too, but postponed so you could go first with at least some of the pictures. You did use quite a few of the ones I had picked out. Oh well, Holl Jo will just be a little bored.
Si, you guys need to come back and visit soon!

What a fun trip. That's neat that the kids can ride their bikes at the zoo. And I am quite shocked that Isaac rode his the whole day. That's cute that he had to have someone hold on to his jacket though. I love all the pictures!
