We really like the new children's zoo, there's so much to do there!
We love the lorikeets!
We got to the butterfly garden just in time to help release butterflies that had just arrived from florida!
After we ate our lunch we went home so Starla could take a nap.
After Starla's nap, we went to the pool for a little bit. Daddy was even home from work for the moment and went with us
Starla LOVES the slide....
The boys (all 3 of them) had a blast on the diving board.....
After the pool we came home and made homemade pizza for dinner. The kids had plain ol' cheese, but for the adults I made panchetta, mozzarella and fresh basil from the farm...mmmmmmmmmm.
Is there anything better on a warm summer evening, than chasing down the ice cream man with a pocket full of change rescued from the piggy bank moments after hearing the familar tune coming down your street?
Next we headed to the park, where every thursday in the summer they have live bands. This week was a blues band called Act Casual, they played lots of great bluesy tunes, but also some great oldies!
I LOVE going to these things and feeling a sense of community. There were quite a few people out there, spread out on blankets and on lawn chairs. Families with little kids, people with doggies, 70+ year old couples dancing old school dances from the 60's, kids dancing and laughing and playing..... it's just nice.
Roman enjoying the tunes
dance like no one is watching.....
The kids only stuck around on our blankets for a few minutes before heading over to the playground, where they played for the hour and a half that we were there. What a good day.
