We hadn't been to the Zoo as a family in a long time, so one weekend we decided to go. Rachel and Julie had taken the kids there over Christmas break and ridden the camels with them. Prior to that trip the kids were scared to death of the camels. Well, that is a thing of the past. Now every trip to the Zoo is not complete without seeing and/or riding the camels.
Annual family tradition: Pancake Supper at All Saints
Willem remembered the festivities from last year and was really excited for the pancake race.
Ellie was happy to partake in the game as well and Willem was very patient as Ellie's leg of the race slowed down his time a bit on the relay.
Jason had been working a lot the previous few months so we took advantage of him having a couple weekends off and headed to the Childrens Museum. Ellie is so confident now, she does the climber all by herself and goes further and further each time. This trip was especially fun as Willem ran into his friend Valentina from school and they played together the rest of the day.
Audrey is great wherever we go. She keeps life exciting with regular blow out diapers but isn't fussy as long as she's well fed and being held.
Dads pool got finished and the kids could not wait to try out the slide. Luckily Rachel volunteered to catch them as the water was freezing!! Ellie stopped before hitting the water but Willem was all in. His body went into shock upon hitting the water though and tears were shed. He's still proud though that he was the first one down the slide. I think he'll wait a few months before going at it again.
