Boo at the Zoo

It was an unexpected surprise for Chad and I to have a weekend off together! We had a very busy Saturday starting off with hockey. Tyler has been doing a great job skating. Although, he didn't start with a chair, he favored one leg. Now he's using both legs, jumping over the blue line a little and starting to stop without falling!

After hockey we thought we'd take advantage of the nice weather and take the kids to Boo at the Zoo. I've always wanted to volunteer with the Target team but figured the kids had never been there and might not understand passing the candy out to other kids. So this was the perfect opportunity for them to check it out! They had a great time! It's disappointing that they don't have more animals there but they seemed to have a great turnout! I was amazed at how brave Tyler was petting a turtle and baby alligator. Sydney loved feeding the goats and llama.

After trick or treating at the zoo, we headed up to Spirit Mountain to check out the Alpine Coaster! There was a bit of a line but again with the nice weather, you can't complain. Tyler rode with Chad and I took Batman Girl! They wanted to keep their costumes on but I made them take them off. Anyways, Chicken Little I mean Sydney was not a big fan of the ride. Now I wouldn't have cruised down the hill very fast but Sydney freaked out and cried the minute I let off the brake. I think we came down the hill at 4 miles an hour! The poor people behind us!! It's surprising to see this side of such a bold and sassy little lady! I'd expect it more from Tyler!

Later that night, Chad and I were able to go out for dinner...alone! Then we went to see the movie Life as We Know It with Katherine Hiegel and Josh Dumahel. It was great!! Definitely the perfect ending to a great day! Now if only Monday will go by as quickly as this weekend did!

Here's few pictures from our trip to the zoo!
