BOO at the ZOO

We took our little dinosaurs to "Boo.At.The.Zoo" this weekend.


My creative and talented Mom (MeMe) made Nathan and Jordan's awesome dino costumes!!  The boys were so excited to be dinosaurs for the day.

"ROOOOAAAAAARRRRR! We are DINO-JORDY and DINO-TOT!"




The cute crew of Calvert cousins!


It's a Zoo Carnival complete with clowns, games, prizes, and candy!




Dr. Brayden and Dr. Bryce were our tour guides for the day.



The weather was beautiful so the animals were quite entertaining.





So excited that Aunt Morgan got to come with us!



Jordy's favorite...the ELEPHANTS!



So happy that Aunt Libby was in town to join the zoo fun too!


My three tired boys headed toward the car after a long day of fun!

Took My Punkins to the Punkin Patch!

We made our annual family trip to The Pumpkin Patch last weekend.  The boys loved it! 


So happy to be at the Pumpkin Patch!!!


Little scarecrows...




Driving tractors!  If only I could convince these boys to use pedals!  It must be a developmental thing...ugh. 



HEY!  It's the Hay House!  Notice the very attractive stamp on Nater Tot's hand?  Yeah, that's how we have to bribe him to take his allergy medicine in the morning.  And sometimes we may or may not bribe him with one candy corn. 



The CORN MAZE!  This thing drives me crazy every year!  I can never figure out how to get out of there.  Thank goodness there are usually a few young teenagers that run around in there so long they get the whole thing figured out and they are very willing to share the path.  Although, Nathan and Jordan totally thought they were leading the way the whole time!  HA!  At every "fork" in the maze, they would say, "This way? No, this way.  This way?  No, that way!"  It was hilarious.





Then, if that wasn't enough fun, we jumped on a trailer for a hay ride.



First stop on the hay ride....to feed the donkeys!  They were so cute.




Second stop on the hay ride...to feed the cows.  They were not so cute.  Although Nathan thought it was hysterical.  Jordy, not so much.


I sure am thankful for the great memories we made at the Pumpkin Patch this year!

Going on a Dinosaur Hunt!

Nathan and Jordan are so fascinated by dinosaurs right now.  It all started a few months ago when Paige mailed the boys a surprise...a dinosaur book and dinosaur bath toys.  Then, we discovered "Dinosaur.Train" and "Dino.Dan."  So, now we have to go on dinosaur hunts pretty often at our house.  The boys usually require a hat, a flashlight, a backpack, and a coat. 


Waiting on the porch for Daddy to hide the dinosaurs...

 Searching high and low...


 Getting warmer...


Found one!!


It sure is an adventure to be the mom and dad of boys!!
