Summer already!

Time is really flying!  My classes ended in early May and we have been constantly going.  I got accepted to Nursing school at Grayson County College and will be done in 2 years so I am trying to fit everything in with the kids.  We went to the Fort Worth zoo with Aunt Net and cousin Louie.  The kids were surprisingly great and lasted a good 3 and a half hours.  The exhibits were so close.  I think the primates were the kids favorite.  They were teasing each other and playing tag.  Kacey's favorite by far was the rhino pooping, she still talks about it when the word zoo is mentioned.  Good thing she didn't see the 5 legged elephant!

We also took a trip to the Dallas Aquarium, just me and the kids.  It was ok but more frustrating than anything but they did enjoy the otters and penguins.  I took the double stroller and it was too big especially with 18 school groups there...oh and a broken elevator!

Thanks to Crystal we got to go to the Owens farm.  I had forgotten about that place and it was cheap.   Kim came with us too and all of the kids got along, it was great.  Trent fed the goats and it was so cute to see him giggle as they tickled his hand with their tongues.  Kacey wouldn't try but she did pet the horses.  Everyone had fun on the hay ride. 

Last week we went to the Dallas zoo to make up for the day it rained on the field trip we accompanied a few weeks ago.  It was the first time I had been on the train ride and it was neat to see animals that you can't see on foot. Sadly, Kacey was sleeping while the rhino peed so we couldn't add to her zoo experience dialogue. 

This week I will just be hanging at home and the parks.  Need to save for nursing school.
