The girls and I adventured up to Nene's house for a long weekend leaving Brant behind to work. This was only the second time I have taken the 2.5 hour drive by myself and I am happy to report that it went much better this year compared to last.
One of their favorite things we did while we were there was to visit the zoo and aquarium. They loved the zoo because you can endlessly feed the giraffes (where endless = the number of quarters your parent has with them). Fiona/pink and Stella/gray were really excited to have the giraffes lick their whole arm. Daphne/pink liked feeding the giraffes but wasn't so sure about the licking.
Fiona pretending she has food even though she doesn't (she really liked the licking).
After thorough sanitation, we continued on our adventure throughout the zoo. Daphne's favorite part was the map. She loved consulting the map before we visited any animals. Here she is showing Stella and Fiona our path around the zoo thus far.
The girls were also very excited about going swimming. Our final attempt at using our own pool was in late September where Daphne refused to get in, Stella would only stand in the water and Fiona would go in for two minutes and then get out - all informing us the water was too cold (and I totally agreed). Thankfully Nene's neighborhood has a heated pool so the girls were excited to show off their swimming skills.
Nene also acquisitioned these large paper boards from costco's recycling pile. We assumed they'd be great to color on, but instead the girls turned them into books. They wrote stories on the walls of the books and hid behind them. Who knew cardboard could be so exciting?
