Yesterday was our annual trip to African Lion Safari. The parents love it, the kids love it - it's just a great place, and the splash pad ROCKS! Last year it was a bit too cold to swim, but yesterday it was absolutely perfect.
We finished off the day at Chuck E. Cheese's. The pizza was MUCH better than last time, so that helped a little. The kids had a BLAST and Daddy even did a few games!
On our way home we stopped at Joe and Jennie's. Jennie had just (like a couple hours earlier) arrived home from...AFRICA! She was gone for 3 weeks, so we were very happy to see her again. She was full of stories, but we couldn't get much out of her because of those darn kids...LOL! We'll have to catch up with her this weekend methinks.

If you look closely at this pic, you can see Lexie in the mirror...it didn't quite work the way I wanted it to...LOL!

The balls are always a hit. We had to go there twice. :)








Lex in the splash pad. Have I mentioned HOW MUCH I love their splash pad? If we lived closer I would buy a season's pass in a heartbeat just for the splashpad!!


Waiting for some ice cream - and me for my frozen-chocolate-covered-banana! YUM!

Max very into his Dippin' Dots. YUM!



Ella took this last pic of Lexie. Isn't it great? I love her chubby little cheeks - what an adorable profile. ♥

Here at Chuck E. Cheese's Lexie is driving her first Jeep!!


Max, riding his police car. (It had a video, there was NO way he was looking up for a smile. Oy!)

My 'ham' Zoe...
 ...add a little sister to boot. ;)

It was a great day. And now next week, they can return to school. Whew!
