We took the kids Friday night to The Landing and enjoyed watching them take in all the sights/sounds. A $0.25 bubble gum machine that had lights, slides and pulleys for the oversized gum balls was all it took to entertain our two enough for them to say it was one of their favorite parts of the whole trip.
We're finding out that traveling for a family of three requires a bigger hotel room. Two of our children are bouncing off the walls with excitement and the youngest is still requiring lots of paraphernalia for traveling. It's also interesting trying to get 3 kids to sleep about the same time. Interesting.
The next morning we headed to the Jacksonville Zoo. We decided to take our own photo booth shots rather than pay for them.
Jumping like the Kangaroos we just saw.
Mr. "I'm not scared of dat spider."
Katherine was trying her best to pose pretty the entire day, to show Nathan how it should be done.
Have I mentioned what an easy baby he is? He was soooooo good the entire day.
The Jacksonville Zoo has a fabulous kids play area. It's planned out well, and integrates play equipment with pseudo animal habitats.
He was doing his best to not let me take a picture of him.
She was going out of her way to make sure I got a good one of her.
This carousel, along with the bubble gum machine, were the two things they both talked about wanting to do/visit again.
This has to be one of my favorite pictures. Brandon is cozied up nice and warm, Katherine is smiling pretty, Daddy is smiling contently and I'm pretty sure I had to say the word bulldozer or Monster Truck to get Nathan to look up at the camera that little bit. The word 'busy' doesn't do his little body any justice in fully describing him right now.
When we finally got home, Brandon had had enough.
I'm so thankful to have these opportunities for our kids. I want so bad to create lasting, loving and fun memories for them.
