Houston Zoobilee













We decided to live it up on a Friday night and go out.......to the Zoo. They had a special members only event where they closed the park and had a big party for the kids. They got to play on giant inflatables and Olivia got to pet a baby alligator and lizard. They had music and games and the kids got a prize on the way out. I think an evening trip to the zoo is in our future this summer when it's too hot during the day. It was a lot of fun and really tired the girls out! Before I forget, they a ballet company dressed up like zoo animals. Olivia has never been a fan of characters (ie Chuck E Cheese), and I couldn't believe she was so friendly with them. I guess it helped that they were wearing ballet slippers and tutus!

Dancing Olivia

At the last minute I decided to sign Olivia up for the Parks & Rec spring dance class. She is doing ballet and tap once a week. She really likes it. Much more than the first class she took last summer. Mia and I hang out in the hall during the class, but from what I can see, she is having a lot of fun. Here are a few pics from her first day. I think she was excited:)


Children's Museum with Mia






Mia and I decided to sneak off to the Children's Museum on day while Olivia was in school. This is the first time that Mia got to actually play in the Tot Spot and we didn't have to worry about maneuvering the crowded big kid areas. We both had so much fun!!! She loved the big light bright wall and playing with all of the balls. I think we'll have to do this again before school gets out.
