We had a great Memorial Day weekend. We did a lot, but we also enjoyed some relaxing time at home. On Saturday morning the boys woke up early (6am), I quickly thought of what we could do to get them down for early naps...and the zoo won! We stopped and donut drive in and at on the way over. Perfect start to what would be a very busy day. We hung out at the zoo for about 3 hours. We saw lots of animals and the boys did great playing.

After naps, we headed out to my friend Kristin's mom's house. She has a farm in New Haven, MO. Lots of goats, sheep, geese, and a couple donkeys. The boys got to pet the animals and play outside. It was a lot of fun. Gabriel found a butter maker and sat at the counter just spinning away. I later walked in the house and Kristin's mom was adding the heavy cream and away he went making real butter. It took Gabe, Scott and Bennett about 20 minutes of fast spinning to make homemade butter.

On Sunday we had nothing planned and enjoyed staying home and going to playgrounds. It was a fairly easy day. On Monday we went to a playground in the morning and then after a quick stop at Target we had a new pool.

After naps, the boys were able to do some swimming while Scott BBQ'ed some ribs. The boys sure loved seeing Nana, Grandpa Ron, and Aunt Michelle.

I took Tuesday off since our sitter was closed and had some fun with the boys. It was so nice out that we played in the yard most of the morning. We also had some excitement with tree trimmers down the street and watching a bobcat pick up huge tree branches.

Lots of fun!
