Warm Weather Weekend

It was simply gorgeous over the weekend, so we tried to spend as much time outside as possible. The whole family went garage sale-ing on Saturday morning. The kids had a great time looking for bargains on toys. It’s amazing what 50¢ will buy at a garage sale! We spent pretty much the rest of the day out in the backyard, where C.B. caught a caterpillar. I was afraid he’d never let the poor little thing go!

Saturday night the adult residents of the Zoo went to the Tap Room to enjoy burgers and beer along with some great music and great company (thanks, D&P). OK…so that had nothing to do with being outdoors, but it was fun nonetheless.

Sunday we had a picnic in the park, where Big D tried to ride his bike without training wheels for the first time. We’ll have to keep working on that balance thing. Afterwards, the kids washed our cars and, of course, got wet from head to toe. I noticed afterwards that my car actually looked better BEFORE they washed it. At least they had fun!

The highlight of this weekend’s events took place on Friday night. Big D had his very first ever baseball game of his entire life. Three of his cousins are on his team, so the majority of the fans were related to us. Don’t ask me who won – who cares? All I know is that Big D had a great time, and we loved watching him and his cousins playing ball together.

Speaking of cousins, we had a couple of them visit us this morning. Check out these shots of Banana and her baby cousin watching a video together. Too cute!
