Back to Normal

Whew! It has been a crazy week and a half. With the trip to Montrose, my brother coming over, having friends over and this past weekend, the boys haven't had a day with just mommy and daddy. On Saturday afternoon Justin's parents, his brother and sister-in-law, and their three kids (all boys of course) were here. We let the boys play some, had some pizza, and then went to the zoo. Every year our zoo has the "Electric Safari" - they have Christmas lights all over the zoo and you get to see the animals at night. A lot of the animals are sleeping and it was very cold, but we still had fun. The best part of feeding the giraffes. They were inside the giraffe house and they got so close to everyone. At one point one giraffe bent down over my nephew to the point where you couldn't even see his face- I am not sure what he thought about it. Tyler and Carter always love feeding the giraffes and this time was no exception.

We went back to their hotel and I mistakenly let Tyler see the swimming pool. He had a major tantrum and screamed the whole way home because he couldn't go swimming. When we put him in the car in the morning to go back over to the hotel, he immediately asked to go in the water. This time he was allowed and had a great time. Both of the boys love the water, and Tyler even got a little daring towards the end jumping into the "cool". We all went out for lunch and then said our goodbyes. It was great to see them all again, but it was nice last night to have a "normal" night (even tho we went to see some friends, that is more normal for our kiddos).
