The Zoo, Dentist, and Donuts

Look at that giraffe! I criticize the Des Moines Zoo a lot as it is so small, doesn't have many animals and is expensive (in my opinion).....BUT we can get close to the giraffes and they are always out. And we really like the giraffes! 

Mason is in front of the rhino. We like the rhinos too, but they don't do much but lay around like some rocks :) The kids do enjoy the wallaby exhibit on the right, we got to see some wallabies running one day, that was fun. 

 Of course, they had to take turns and let Mason be in the front. Ha! 

Addison was so excited that daycare took her to an ice cream shop. We told her that bowl was WAY too big :) 

This day is forever engrained in the kids' memory. We went to the dentist one morning in July. Growing up, my dad would often times stop at Casey's with us after the orthodontist. So after the dentist, I stopped at Casey's and got the kids a donut to share. We sat on the curb at daycare to eat it. They thought this was the coolest thing. Mason is constantly saying "we ate donut over there!" when we pull into daycare. It's so funny to me that he remembers that! 

Addison had a roller-skating day at daycare so I bought her some plastic ones at Target so she could practice before the big day. She's pretty slow going around the house but it works!
