Landon's Day

This was a great weekend. It started off with friends over on Friday night and then Landon and I off to Portland on Saturday. We stayed with some friends that we haven't spent time with in 2 years and it was wonderful..despite the bedtime mishaps! :) It was great to reconnect, and this time we won't let two years go by!

Sunday was all about Landon. He hasn't had much mommy time, so this was his day. We had a reptile class at the zoo. We left our friends house around 10:30 and headed to the zoo. It was POURING down rain, but we had an amazing time. Here are a few pictures of our day.

Landon had a blast playing and walking around in the rain.

This is what you look like after you have wandered the zoo for over an hour, in the rain, and attempting to take the picture yourself - LOL!!!!

The zoo was awesome today because there were no people, despite the rain it was not cold and the animals were out, which is such a treat! I'll add a couple pics of the animals, but my camera doesn't do them justice.

This is "Fred" the Peacock. His name is not officially Fred, but for some reason this is the name that our kids have given him. Fred roams the grounds and the kids love searching for him. Today he was striking a pose and loved having his picture taken.

This a the Nile Monitor...one of our favorite animals.

Here are the Mearcats. They were hiding in their burrow today, I guess they didn't want to be out in the rain.

After we wandered the grounds for about 1 1/2 hours (in the rain!) we headed to his class. Here are the pictures from his class.

Here's Landon starting on his turtle.

Cutting out the legs, head and tail.

The finished product!

Landon learned about Tortoises, Turtles, Bearded Dragons and Snakes. He was able to touch them all and ask as many questions as he could think of.

After all that walking around it was time for a snack!

Here's Landon learning how a snake sheds his skin! This was too funny and he wasn't able to get out until a friendly blackberry bush (a.k.a. his teacher) came and rescued him!

What a great weekend...I am so thankful to my mom who watched the girls for me. Tristyn even did a great job without mom. I have a cute picture of her that I will add later.

Okay, for some reason the formatting is totally off..I don't know how to fix it so this post looks really bad! Sorry! I will keep trying to figure it out.
