On Tuesday, April 30, we got up and got out of the house by 9 am. We headed over to Wildlife Prairie Park. It is a natural habitat (well, more natural than the zoo.) It has big pens for the animals there...including an open prairie for the buffalo to roam around in. It was pretty spread out with lots of walking but it was a fun time. We also went when Charlotte should have been down for a nap so there was quite a bit of whining and unhappy moments. All in all it was a great start to our day.
The lions were pretty active...and making weird noises as they crawled on each other.
Charlotte was not so sure about those noises.
It was a bit awkward to say the least.
Out of all of the animals there, Charlotte was the most excited about the "moo tow".
Even with flies and gnats all over him, he as pretty cute.
Love this view...
Sawyer LOVED the cow as well!
My little family.
They are perfect.
Alex was in charge of the safety. I was in charge of the pictures and ignoring the fits :)
We had a great view of the big bear. We sat and watched him and had an illegal snack.
Surprised? Growling? Yelling? I have no idea what is going on here but it looks like a great time.
Bison? Buffalo?
I assume buffalo just bc of the song... "Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam.."
After a melt down or two from our little angel of a 2 yr old, we decided it was in our best interest to head out. Charlotte and Sawyer were asleep before we even hit the hard road. Alex and I ran a few errands and he got fitted for his tux for his brother's wedding. Charlotte woke up during the fitting and ate some of our drive thru "fatty mac" lunch we got. As a treat for being good during the fitting, we stopped at Emo's and got ice cream. Her and Daddy ate outside and Momma stayed in the car with sleeping Sawyer.
We then headed to Metamora to Dollar General to get a blow up swimming pool. We then got our swim gear and headed to Mom and Dad's house for the remainder of the day. They were in Paris for the week for Dad's work so we had the house (and yard) all to ourselves. Not having a single piece of grass growing on our lot is a bit depressing. We go to Mom and Dad's house when we need some green in our life.
It was a bit chilly so Aunt Bare and Daddy added hot water.
Charlotte applied her own sunscreen to her face.
Mime, anyone?
Alex's hard work and thinking face.
Cracks me up.
He was trying to get the toy screwed on REALLY tight.
She is a hot mess.
He was loving all of the water.
Eating the toys I got them at Dollar General.
Such a handsome little fella...
After a few hours of playing, we headed home for some dinner and baths. We had a full day of outside play. It was a great day...despite the many fits.
We love Daddy's Days Off.
