father's day and the zoo!

Yesterday was Father's Day and the girls spent the day with their daddy, uncle, papa, great grandpa and great uncle. All are terrific men and we are blessed to have them in our lives!

Delight:  The girls got to spend a lot of time outside yesterday since it turned out to be a gorgeous day. Of course they had to swing! Daddy and Papa took turns pushing the girls in their favorite pastime. It did get to be quite a lot of swinging and each of the girls had a tough time waiting their turn (it was IMPOSSIBLE to distract them with some other fun activity while they waited their turn). The whining was getting to be too much so I said all done swinging (after the girls had an equal amount of turns on the swing of course). They were SO GOOD and gave up the swing with no problem! I was shocked, relieved and very proud!

Little Pie is getting better at getting out of the swing to give Little Bird a turn, but she is having a hard time waiting patiently for her next turn.

Trying to play catch with Lobo but that swing was just too tempting.

Delight:  We went to Como Zoo today with BFF and some other moms and kids in the neighborhood. We got to see the new polar bear exhibit as well as all the other classic exhibits. All three girls did a great job, but I think they would have preferred to run around the entire place on their own instead of having to get in and out of their strollers.

BFF shows everyone the giraffe.

Little Bird pushed the stroller around for a while (with Little Pie in it!) so she needed to take a water break!

When Little Pie got out of the stroller she didn't really care too much about the animals; she just wanted to see if she could figure out these buckles!

After we got through almost every exhibit we had a picnic lunch before heading home.
