Weekend of Bugs

This weekend had a small turn of events due to some uninvited bugs that showed up in our house Thursday evening. Thankfully we were scheduled in for the house to be sprayed for Friday afternoon to take care of them. However that resulted in Abby and I needing to find a place to crash while the house aired out. Abby had not seen her buddy Ashley for a while and the Cowan's were nice enough to house us for the evening. The girls just entertain each other and wear each other out so it is a win-win situation for everyone.


Here we are Friday night at Fritz's after dinner. This was actually Abby's first ice cream cone and she did pretty well. The girls were running around and squealing and having a great time.
The next day our St. Louis Mom's had planned on going to the zoo so Abby and I tagged along since Tim was still in Texas and I wasn't looking forward to cleaning up dead bugs just yet. Here we are outside the Penguin house. If you know how much Abby likes Happy Feet and "Mumble" this was like heaven to her and she was very excited to say the least.
Here the girls are inside the Penguin house. They were quite the hand holding pair, and it was so cute to watch.
Here are the three toddlers: Ashley, Abby, and Aidan. Not as easy as you think to get all three of them in one area for a picture. We are looking at Chimpanzees I think (they were all monkeys to Abby) and they put the food right in front of the glass so the kids could see them up close.
Here's the Mom's on the train. We ended the zoo trip on the train to see some other sites that didn't involve walking to them. Ashley and Abby are in the seat with me, they enjoyed the tunnels the most. After that we headed to McDonald's for lunch and of course it had a playland so it was an opportunity to get rid of that last piece of energy before nap time. Abby and I headed back to Columbia after lunch to tackle the house.
Tim returned Saturday night and Abby was very happy to see him again. We went to the Waffle House after church and they gave Abby a hat to take home. We all crashed with naps shortly afterwards.
