Our First Trip to the Zoo

Well, Jennifer and I decided last week that we would keep each others kids 1 day per week. This would allow her a day to do her student teaching observations and give me a day to run errands and have some freedom from the boys. This would be a win win situation for both of us!! Anyways...Tuesday was my day to have Cole...he was PERFECT as always!! He is such a sweet child and Kyle and I hope we can just do half as good with our kids as they have done with him!! He is just precious!! Anyways...Victoria called yesterday morning and we were trying to figure out something fun to do, when she came up with us taking the kids to the zoo. We ended up with a pretty big group...the adults~Me, Victoria, Kristen, Laura, Lindsey, and Ann. and the kids~Mitchell (mine), Parker (mine), Cole (my nephew), Liam (Victoria's), Johno (kristen's loaner kids~her nephew), Anna (kristen's loaner kids~her niece), Caroline (laura's), Isabella (lindsey's), and Cooper (Ann's). That's right we had 6 adults and 9 children ages 4 months-4 years old. We got some pretty funny looks from people!! It was like stroller central. We had 4 regular strollers, 1 umbrella stroller, and of coarse my double stroller/school bus, plus I had one of the boys in the baby bjorn. They stayed until 4 but we had to bail at 2:45 because I was absolutely pooped!! Let me tell you, I definitely got a work-out...pushing a double stroller with 2 kids and carrying one more in the baby bjorn I felt like wonder woman!! I was definitely huffing and puffing my way around!! It's crazy when you are pushing that much weight
how many inclines there are~ha ha!! Anyways, we had a great time!! It was funny today I went to see Kim and meet little Hollis for the first time (and he is sooooo cute!!...and we're hoping that they will join the blogging world soon!!) Anyways, I was telling her about everything and she said, so did all the kids enjoy it and then I started thinking that really none of them were old enough to really know what we were looking at except maybe Johno. But, regardless, it was good for us mommas and aunts to get together!! I forgot my camera, but you can click on Lindsey's blog from mine and see pictures...they are cute!!
