The Zoo

Saturday we took the kids to CALM, which is the Bakersfield version of a zoo. They loved it. I know we've taken them before, but Sammy was a baby and Andi must not have remembered. Andi was our tour guide the whole morning and had to check her map for everything.

Sammy likes birds. He chased the un-caged ones all over the place, and tried to climb in with the caged ones.

Andi's favorite were the deer. They were very friendly.

I'm glad we got that visit in, because it rained all day yesterday and is supposed to be cold and rainy all week. Spring is so bi-polar sometimes it makes me crazy. It was really warm last week, so I went out Saturday and got summer clothes for the kids. And now it's cold and rainy. Speaking of the clothes shopping, I am now buying Sammy's shirts in the little boys section. Not toddlers, boys! He's 2!!! His bottoms are still 3t, but his tops are 4's,(little boy smalls). I think that's ridiculous. I was telling Thad about it, so he weighed Sammy to find that at 2, he's also heavy enough to get out of the big car seat and into a booster. 40lbs! Andi is only 45 lbs!  Thad keeps telling me we are going to dress him up as the juggernaut for halloween this year because he's so big. And since you can't throw out a cardboard box before you've played with it first, here's sammy  modeling Thad's version of the costume. I told him it really needed to be rounded.
