Girl's Weekend

The 2nd weekend in July we had a girl's weekend. Jennifer, Stephanie and I (along w/ our 5 kids) met in Bloomington to go to the Miller Park Zoo & Spray Park. The zoo was fun... it was small, but a nice size to visit w/ little kids. Sadie was very excited to see the giant turtles. She also enjoyed the sea lions & otters (we were reading a book tonight w/ sea lions and she said "I saw them at the zoo w/ Grace & Faith & Hannah!")

This is Sadie showing Kinnick the otters!

All the girls (& Kinnick!)...

Grace & Sadie

They had this tropical rain forest exhibit that you could walk through--it had birds and a few monkeys. The girls enjoyed the little waterfall.

They had a small petting zoo w/ goats and a chicken. Sadie was a bit timid at first, but really got into brushing the goats along w/ Grace & Faith.

The girls had a good time at the spray park--I failed to get a picture of all the kids together.

The next day, we had JoniKay's shower. We got all the kids down for naps and actually had some adult time--it was perfect:

Sadie enjoyed the yummy drinks we had after her nap!
