Andrea is on spring break from school this week and decided to pick the kids up from daycare and take them to the zoo. It sounds like they had a really great time as Max told me about all the animals they saw. Rory greeted me with this beautiful face:

OK, so maybe the face isn't quite as beautiful as we're used to. She had a reaction to the sunscreen while at the zoo. So she did get sun burnt, but most of the red is actually a reaction as she also has patches in her neck which would not have seen much sun. We were actually fortunate that this happened yesterday because Rory already had an appointment scheduled to get her ears checked. The ears were clear and the pediatrician gave us some suggestions for sunscreens for my sensitive skinned baby. So it was good timing for her to have the reaction - whether we like it or not.

Andrea and Chris stayed over and played with the kids for a while. They got Max a giant "honeycomb" ball for rolling in and decided to inflate that and try it out. Max liked climbing in and out of it, but he didn't care so much for the actual rolling part. Here he is hanging out with Auntie after a little rolling. Hence, the watery eyes.

Chris was a champ and when he wasn't pushing Auntie or Max around in the ball he did his part in swinging with Rory on the porch swing. Aren't they adorable in their white shirts?

So it was another fun day in the sun for the kids. I do enjoy this warm weather, especially because it gives me a chance to find things to blog about on a more regular basis. Nothing like journaling the growth of my children and being able to look back and enjoy these little stories. Don't get me wrong, I love sharing all of this, but I really keep this blog just so I know I have a place that records the everyday moments. How else will I remember all of this as they grow?
