This last weekend Starboy's Cousin P. that is just 8 days younger than him came and spent 3 days and two nights with us. We started out at the zoo with both our families enjoying a day with the animals.
This was my first time back at the Zoo since I was a kid. It was a fun afternoon.
The kids got to watch an animal show. They pet a snake, armadillo, and lizard. Starboy got to even be apart of the show. The video below shows him clopping like a horse.
After about 2 hours with both families there My niece E. took her two younger children home and P. stayed with us. The boys loved running around and climbing on different things.
On Friday the boys had tons of fun. They got to eat pancakes for breakfast, run through the sprinklers while jumping on the tramp and then go to Classic Skating Rink. They scootered for the first hour. The second hour I rented skates for all of us. This was the first time either of them had been on roller skates. They both fell down a lot, but kept trying. By the end they were doing pretty darn good. I really enjoyed skating, I had forgotten what a workout it was.
At night they slept in a huge fort they had created. They had so much fun preteding to be spies and using their imaginations. On Saturday after doing morning reading and chores we met P. mom and family at the swimming pool. Starboy loved jumping off the diving board and going on the waterslide. It was a great weekend.

Looks like fun! It's been TOO hot here to even play outside at all!
ReplyDeleteLooks like indoor forts are the way to go! (Check out my recent posts if you haven't seen our forts! ;)
