We headed off to the zoo this past week while the weather was still nice. We went with Trinity, Ethan, & Abel. We ended up spending 2 1/2 hrs. at the zoo. It was a good time getting exercise and seeing animals all at the same time. They even put in a playground in the farm animals area, so the kids can work off the rest of their energy. Each time we go we tend to see zookeepers who explain the names and various things about the animals. It makes it more special for the kids when they know the baby penguin's name "Tiki" and "Popei" the red panda. Sierra always wants to see the Tiger who lost his mommy this last summer. We went when he was literally crying/moaning 1 month after his mom died. I think we might have to invest in a zoo pass come spring. She is so excited every time she goes. Thankfully in the winter they have a free day 1 x a month, and it normally has been at least sunny when they've had them-maybe 35-40 degrees, not warm, but sunny :).

Sierra looks nice in dresses, Jen. I dress my girls in lots of sundresses too!
I hope to make a blog update soon about home schooling, with some pics, & listing some recipes for Liesl & Monica. So it IS pending!!!!! Thanks for asking about me.
What a blast! Wish me & Chloe could have come along to see the animals. Milwaukee has such a great zoo. Do Sierra and Ethan still get along ok?
Alicia - for the most part. Sierra likes to boss him around - which doesn't go over very well. We are working on it! We are trying to teach them to solve their problems by themselves.
