Stacy and I always talk about getting the kids together, but conflicting schedules, other obligations, and the way time marches on and on all seem to get in the way of us meeting up as much as we would like. Thankfully, the stars (and more importantly, the sun) aligned last weekend, and we were able to meet at the zoo. We had a blast wandering through a few exhibits (because three walking pre-schoolers means there's no rushing anywhere!), eating a picnic lunch, and playing on the play structure (since Dylan slept through lunch and needed to eat before going home.)
Abbey and Madison are so close in age, really, but they are just now starting to seem close together. Seven months can be an eternity when one of them is one and the other is five months! Now that they're both running around and talking, it's fun to watch them begin to interact and "hang out". I hope that a friendship develops between them as they grow up together; Stacy is like a sister to me, and Madison is my god-daughter, so I anticipate having our families share many memories together!
Later, the kids and I went to my mom's to watch the annual Michigan State/U-M game. Victory for MSU, meaning that the day couldn't have gotten much better! One day, we'll be able to take the kids to East Lansing for the game, but I don't think that day will happen for a few years yet :)
three frogs, three happy kids
hopefully Abbey doesn't mind sharing with Dylan when he is old enough to care!
surprisingly, they all listened and stayed on the frogs instead of running through the water
it was a warm day, but not warm enough for sprinklers!
one of Abbey's favorite zoo spots
even more fun when shared with friends
the tigers were actually running around
they are normally hiding or sleeping
yet, my girl preferred hanging out with the tiger statue
bonding, pre-school style
they were actually having a little conversation at this point
