Petting Zoo

Today was very special for the boys... It was PETTING ZOO DAY!!!!! The boys were so excited. Jason went with his preschool and Jake and I met him there. It was the perfect picture opportunity. Jake was nervous at first but really got into it by the time we left. Jason loved every second of it. He is fearless and would have sat on the donkey all day. Jake was our little ham. Newspaper photogs took pics of him like crazy. What cute little wild men. It was a blast....

Jake was a little freaked by the donkey.

Jake didn't like the goat at first, but once it gave him a kiss they were friends.

20's Murder Mystery Party

Me and Colin ready for the big night.

It isn't every day that we get to enjoy a party where we act, laugh, and try to use our wits to solve a pretend murder. We did just that last weekend. The fitness center here in town had a party and I took on the persona of Donna Wannabe and Colin was Sly Sleaze. We got character profiles, studied them and got dressed for the evening.

The corrupt men.

When we showed up we ate dinner and got more instructions on what we needed to accomplish during the evening. Laughter and what I would consider excellent acting filled the room all night. We had to visit and try to figure out who dun it!! People were using bribes and threats to solve the mystery.

Richard Simmons!!! AKA Ryan.

Richard Simmons travelled through time and put on a short show.... Talk about funny!!!!

It was a wonderful evening of fun and mystery. Definitely an experience we will never forget. I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

I hope all of you are doing well. Take care!!!
