The rain finally let up late on Saturday night, so we were able to go to Boo at the Zoo after dropping my mom at the airport in the morning. We had a fun time collecting candy and checking out the animals. The zoo changed Boo at the Zoo again this year and didn’t have the big area with games for the kids to play. They had performers around the zoo and candy stations.

The big girls wanted to stop collecting candy for a bit and try the shooting gallery in Texas Town. Dani wanted to keep eating candy 🙂

We had another fun time at the zoo. Mike was the overwhelming hit of the day as The Beast!

While Nonnie visited it continued to rain and rain and rain. So they played inside A LOT! Nonnie also took the girls and I shopping for treats.

At the store Dani found me and said, “Nonnie said I could buy dis!”

A visit from Nonnie is not complete without a trip to Target.

We also ate lots of good food while Nonnie was here. We stayed up late talking each night after the girls went to bed. Thanks for coming to visit mom – we love you!

My mom came to visit from California the week before Halloween. We planned to go to Boo at the Zoo and I borrowed a costume from my friend Laura for my mom to wear. Then torrential rain started a few hours before she flew in and it looked like our chances for that went out the window. But the nursing home where Mike’s mom lives was having their Halloween party and so we all got dressed and headed over there for the evening. The residents gave out candy and the girls played games to earn even more candy.

We stopped and picked up to-go food at Freebirds and then headed home. It was a fun little night!

Dani cracks me up in this photo.

We started the day with a Star Wars birthday party for our friend Carter! It was at a park and lots of fun!

Then Nadia made a rainbow loom outfit for her toy rat.

Then Papa and Grandma came to town and they played for hours.

It was a fun day all around 🙂
