There's never a lack of things to do around here. Today was no different with a visit from a high school friend and her almost 4 year old son. We took the kiddos to Como Zoo braving the crowds and seeing all of the animals. The kids had a great time and Sidney spent the morning giving out her best animal noises, which by the way, all sound the same, "roooaaarrrr!".
We paused for a turn on the famous giraffes, which are clearly marked "do not climb on statues" but that sign is clearly ignored.
Following the zoo and a quick lunch, I put Sidney down for a nap and decided to let Regan stay up to swim and entertain Will. She loves every chance she can get to go into the pool and today was no different.
This evening, after our company had gone home, we had some unexpected free time. After much debate about what to do with a free evening, we decided on Lake Harriet and headed out for some more fun! We were lucky enough to run into a professional photographer on the dock who offered to take a family picture :) Can you say Christmas Card!!, even without smiles, it still looks pretty good :)
And who can head out to Lake Harriet without grabbing some ice cream?! Thankfully, daddy didn't drop my camera in the lake this time (see a previous post for that ordeal).
The night was capped off with a ride on the Lake Harriet Trolley, something we have grown to love over the years. Sidney was petrified, visibly shaken as we climbed aboard, but started to settle in quickly. The conductor pulled the horn to let out a loud "CHOO CHOO" and she was all giggles! She even climbed off my lap and sat next to the window, letting the wind blow through her hair.
Daddy's been asking for a break from all the craziness for a couple of days now, but there's no end in sight and that's quite alright with me (and Regan, who asks every morning "who's coming today?)! There's nothing better than making the most of every single beautiful summer day! I only wish the summer would last longer!
