Dad called in sick today from work. He has been feeling a bit under the weather. The kids and I signed up at the OC Zoo for a class called animals in your backyard. It was cute. The kids got to pet a snake, and see/touch its skin that he sheds, and touch lots of skins, like racoon and coyote. There were also 3 really cute crafts making ladybugs, snails, and snakes. Nicole was all into it but Justin after about 30 minutes was ready to go see the zoo animals-he was also hungry. After the class we went and walked around the zoo. It is a tiny zoo but the bears were the highlight. The kids liked seeing them up on the branches. We stayed for storytime as well. Not too exciting though. The lady played Owl noises and then read 2 books. One of the books was one I had read this morning to the kids so they were all excited. Since we were at the Irvine Regional Park Justin wanted to go on the train of course. The kids waited so patiently until the train was ready to go. On the way home we stopped at the grocery store real quick and got some lunch. After lunch dad and the kids did a ton of water balloons, they were all soaked. Then the kiddos played in their pool. So cute watching them jump in it and have fun together. After Justin was all done he said I need cake because its hot but then he said he needed it because he was hungry. It was funny! The kids relaxed and watched some TV. Dad took a nap. We headed to the Spectrum after. We ran to Target and Carters then met Grammy and Zach at Dave and Busters. Justin immediately just wanted to play games-he didn’t care about what he was having for dinner. The kids had fun playing games. We had a great time. The kids were really tired tonight and went to bed really easily.
