Fun filled weekend

Wow it was quite the fun filled weekend. What was going to be a weekend of no plans surely turned into a busy one, but luckily most at home. Friday night Hal worked very late and didn't get home until we were in bed. Saturday morning we got up and Hal made a great breakfast. Sophia must be going through a growing spurt because she ate a huge meal. We spent most of the day in our jammies hanging out around the house. Our new computer arrived on Saturday too which was quite exciting.

Hal spent most of the day trying to get the new computer hooked up to the Internet. Sophia and I played toys and then my friend Lisa stopped by with a whole bunch of clothes. Sophia spent the majority of the rest of the day playing dress up. She really took a love to this bat girl costume and a rain jacket with matching rain boots. After Sophia went for a nap I went and did my long run for the weekend. It felt so great to have 12 miles done! When I got home we had a lazy evening and went to bed early to gear up for the zoo.

Today we got ready and made the trip out to the MN Zoo. Sophia could barely wait to see the monkeys.

She loved seeing all of the animals and it was amazing to see her reactions compared to being at the same zoo only a year ago.

After a couple of hours, Sophia had seen the animals and was done so we headed home. We had some lunch and then it was time to try the rain boots outside. Sophia had the greatest time splashing around in the puddles.

Once she was completely soaked, it was time to go back inside. We played for a bit more before nap. After nap we got ready for the family dinner.

Hal's mom is in town from Utah so we had his parents, sister, and our niece over for dinner. The girls played a ton of toys together and had a great time.

We had a wonderful dinner and then everyone headed home.
