We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo ..

We had a blast at the Calgary Zoo on Wednesday!  It was a long day but the kids, as usual, travelled like champs :)  We left our house around 7:15 am and returned home at 10 pm!

It was so nice to see Carmen, Darren, Dylan, Kerri and Kailey and spend the day with them.  We just wish Kourtney would have been with us as well but summer jobs tend to take precedent over summer vacations when you are a high school student ;)

Blake had a lot of fun with Dylan, he really looks up to his older cousin, which is very sweet :)  Dylan had fun with Blake and was so good with Em and Reese too, helping Reese push the stroller and looking out for both the girls.  All the kids enjoyed the zoo and running around together!  Blake said his favorite animal was the grizzly bear and Emerson said her favorite was the giraffe!  Reese would run up to a display and turn around and look at us, saying, "Animals!!  Animals!!"  LOL!!

From the zoo, we made a quick stop at Cross Iron Mills for supper and a little shopping.  We didn't buy a thing though!  We need to make a trip there by ourselves, sans kiddo's!!!  Although having the kids in tow definitely helps our bank account balance ;)

This weekend, I am attending a former co-workers wedding on Saturday and on Sunday we are going to celebrate my BFF Lindsey's son's 3rd birthday and her daughter's 1st birthday!  And Blake needs a new hockey stick (his stick from last season is a good foot too short!!) and possibly new skates ... AGAIN!  That boy is growing far too fast!  

Next week, both Blake and Em are in morning camps.  Blake is in a hockey camp and Emerson is in a YMCA camp.  Cal took the week off and Lindsay and Connor are coming to visit for 2 nights :)  It shall be a wonderful week!!  I can't wait to see Connor!!  We haven't seen him since June and I'm sure he's changed and grown.  They change so fast in the first year :s  Looking forward to seeing my favorite sister as well ;)

Have a great weekend, everyone!
