Summer Fun Week 9

This week was filled with adventures with friends

Sunday

Christine and Pierre invited us to a delicious brunch at their home.  They invited the boys' Golf Coach, Marc, and his family.  All 5 boys played really well together and had a fun time!

 While I was cooking dinner later in the night, the guys all had a great game night.

Movie Monday

We took Patrick's best friend, Jack, to the movies to see "Shawn the Sheep"

Take a Trip Tuesday

We took Finnegan's best friend, Finn, with us to The Raptor Center.

The boys loved seeing all the raptors, especially the eagles, raptors and owls

Wednesday

This morning, Eli and Wyatt spent the morning with us.

 After the friends went home, the boys came with me to deliver my first custom hat order.  The boys were clearly proud to be coming to the store with me.  They introduced themselves to the shop owner, used their best manners, and were thrilled when the owner gave them all special cookies.  It was a great milestone for my business and I'm so happy the boys were there with me.

In the evening, Sully and I went to the Knights game with Parker and Sarah.

The buddies loved being together and I adored having a special Mommy and Me time with Sullivan.  He enjoyed a hot dog, popcorn, cotton candy, and more!  We both loved dancing with the scoreboard, cheering for the home team and looking for Homer, the Dragon.

Thursday

Today we continued the tradition and, for the second year in a row, went to the Riverbank Zoo with the  Pluchos Family.

Fun Facts about Patrick (the gorilla, not the kid, I hope) 

 Finny and Sully

 Feeding the Giraffes is always a highlight

 Finn feeding the Momma Giraffe

 While Patrick was feeding one, the giraffe licked his face!

Sully LOVED the gentle giants 

 The Carousel, a favorite for all the kiddos

At the penguin house, the kids delighted in chasing the penguins from one side to another.

 An exciting addition to the zoo this year was the grizzly bears.  The kids loved watching the two bears play, dig in the dirt and swim in the water.  It was so fun to watch the kids, watch the bears!

We truly love this tradition with the Pluchos'.  While our playdates during the school year will be sparse, because Sully will start Kindergarten, I hope we will always have our summer zoo trip.

Such a fun week with friends!
