Zoo #3

Here are a few pictures from the last week.  We are nearing the end of the school year and anticipating summer break! However, as with most years, almost every weekend on our calendar is filled.  All with happy and celebratory occasions, however, with so many activities, it is sure to make the summer go quickly.  

Zach at his weekly gymnastics class...  We discovered this class a couple years ago, right before he was born.  It's nice because it's a weekly drop-in class so if you have to miss, you're not out any money.  This school year, Zach and I went on Thursday mornings while Helaina was in preschool.  A little mommy and Zach time is always fun!

Our wild man is outgrowing this slide. 

Helaina was the class "helper" on Thursday.  With only a couple more days of school for the year, I know she is going to miss her school and friends that she has enjoyed for the last 2 years.  I hope to stay in touch with some of the moms and kids, however, we know there will be a transition period when she starts at her new school this fall.  The good news is that her 4 year-old preschool will also be her elementary school so this is the only transition she'll have to make for the next few years.

Randy had a project to complete at the house before we close next month, and it's always best to do those kinds of things when the kids are not around.  So I called my mom and on Sunday we made an impromptu trip to Battle Creek, MI and Binder Park Zoo.  I have to laugh because this is our 3rd Zoo visit of the year.  Glad we have the Detroit Zoo membership though because we get half price all other reciprocal zoos in the US.  It has been several weeks since we've seen my family, so the kids were beyond happy to get some Grandma time.
