Week #5- Jungle Week

I just believe our new summer plans are to be "content" with whatever God throws our way. This week we were at my sister's quite a bit and I also forgot my camera a number of fun activities. Above are the few pics I got.
Monday we decided we'd make one last attempt at the zoo before the heat overtook us or the rain! We got to see the lions, tigers, and giraffes with our friends the Jones' who were also feeling adventurous. We also started swim classes for Vivi which she is doing great at!
Tuesday it poured rain which changed up our morning plans, but not our afternoon. Swim was not canceled and Vivi was a trouper jumping in the water in the pouring rain! Tuesday afternoon we headed to my sister's for some fun craft time and safari adventures around her house.
Wednesday we went to the library for a short while and traded our bug books for safari books. We went to swim and back home for lunch and rest. That afternoon I took the kids to the mall to play around the indoor area and enjoy a special treat in the food court.
Thursday we packed for a sleepover we were having that night at my sister's. Swim was all the same and I actually saw Vivi swim by her self! That afternoon we headed to Em's for some play time and a special evening activity for she and I. We went to see "Eclipse" and that was truly fantastic!! We stayed the night and the adventure carried over to Friday.
Friday we decided to take the kids out or at least make an attempt at it. We loaded all three car seats in to her car and took them to a cute indoor park called Safari Park near her place. We'd been there in the winter but hadn't revisited and it's too cute especially with our themes. The kids loved the ball pit and the train ride. We picked up some lunch and headed back to her place to try and get the kids down. It proved more challenging than I thought. After two hours of trying Isaac finally went down and I brought the girls downstairs. They fell asleep watching "Horton Hears a Who" and then Isaac was up. WOW! We hung a little while longer and headed home late afternoon. I was good for nothing after all this adventure. Fortunately, I had my fellow mate at home willing to make dinner and help a lot!
This was about the wrap-up of our jungle themes. Enjoy some shots of us playing around the house, Chloe's house, and Safari Park.
