Believe it or not, this weekend was our last free weekend before baby girl arrives. There is a lot going on in the next few weeks! SO, we decided we would take this weekend and spend a family weekend together-no work allowed :) We had thought about going somewhere this weekend, but decided it would be easier to just stay at home and hang out.
Saturday morning we got up and headed to the zoo. 
Me & my little boy :)
Someone came by and snapped a picture of us just before we headed in. We actually picked the best day to go. It was cloudy, and much cooler than it had been (ya know...upper 80's instead of lower 90's...). I thought there was a chance I would be miserably hot, but it honestly wasn't too bad.
This picture is for Jennifer. She loves frogs so much...
Eli LOVED the sting ray tank. The came right up and let Eli touch them. The ones at the Aquarium aren't quite that friendly.
I have a video of him playing with them, but I STILL haven't figured out how to view videos from the new camera on the computer...one of many things I need to figure out :)
I thought this picture of Eli was hilarious.
He loved the fish...which is funny, because he's been kind of 'over' the Aquarium lately. Apparently he liked these fish better.
There was a water area for the kids. Eli didn't play in it much to begin with...
...he went to the petting zoo first...or what should be called the 'goat zoo', cuz that's all there was.
Somehow I think a goat wouldn't take too kindly to someone pulling his tail...
This was taken right after this goat tried to take a bite of Edgar's shirt...
Eli did leave the goats and couldn't resist getting soaked.
He loves the water :)
After Eli got a change of clothes we went to look at more animals. You can get right up to the giraffes. We didn't buy the (overpriced) crackers to feed them, but we took advantage of them thinking we had one :)
Can YOU touch your nose with your tongue?
This picture is for Jennifer too...not sure if this was the baby you once often photographed...but it was the smallest one there-not so small anymore!
A little snack break :) At this point I was a little jealous that he had a stroller and I was still walking...I'm sure it was good for me :)
After the zoo we went home. Eli took a nap while we watched TV...ahhhhhh...I love sitting on the couch doing nothing! After Eli got up we went to Babie's R Us and got our double stroller. I'm pretty excited about this. Hopefully it will be a good fit for us. It runs really smooth and it fits the car seat. Eli loved it, and didn't want to get out. Now I just need to start running again...
I actually put $.50 in this...it was pretty lame, but Eli seemed to like it. He's kind of on a Sesame Street kick lately...well...he likes Elmo, Grover & Cookie Monster...we don't even really watch the show, but he has several books with Sesame Street characters in it, so he enjoys them.

After that we went to the mall looking for some good walking sandals for me. Found a pair...for $130.00...ugh. No, we did NOT buy them...We ate dinner in the food court and headed for home.
After putting Eli to bed we watched 7 (yes 7) episodes of 'The Big Bang Theory'. Jennifer's brother let us borrow the first season. Holy smokes, that show is funny.
Today was church-we actually were able to sit in the service since there was no Sunday School today. It's been a while since we've been able to do that, it seems. It was a really good service. We went to Chili's for lunch afterwards (finally used my birthday gift card from Eric & Leilani!) then to Sams, then home...where we watched 4 more episodes of 'The Big Bang Theory'. Eli got up, we went to Joannes (bought another pattern and more fabric...I'm obsessed...), went to Petsmart where Eli had just about as much fun as he did at the zoo...then to Hhgregg.
Phew! It was a great, relaxing weekend. After Eli went to bed Edgar did have to log in for a while, but it was WONDERFUL to have him all to ourselves this weekend :) Eli LOVES hanging out with his daddy, so some undistracted time is always wonderful. I LOVE hanging out with him too :)
Now, the weekend is over, and a busy week is ahead...back to real life, right?! :)
