We still have the zoo on our bucket list so I hope we can make it there this week.
We have found a really cool Mac Donalds here in town that does family craft night two days a week and also has a really big, very clean inside playground. We also hit the library a few times a week. The kids really love getting to experience different "Story Times" across the U.S. At this particular library, they have story time a few times a week as well as "craft time" twice a week. The kids have done more crafts this past month than they have done in a long time. They also have a big castle play house for the kids. Yes...a playhouse IN the library. Kind of crazy and noisy if you ask me, but the kids sure love it.
Here are some pictures of what we have been doing the past few weeks.

The kids very first trip to the skating rink! Josh wore the beginner skates, which he did really well on. Jess wore the real deal! I was so proud of both of them. I got to re-live some old Junior High memories. Let me tell you, this rink brought me way back! Couple skating, opposite direction, rink games and strobe lights. Today's skating rinks haven't changed much at all!
This was the only one of the three of us. Sorry it's blurry.
Dinner with friends!
The only thing constant about Jacob's job is change. Louisiana sure has been fun though!! We are going to soak up this next week...just in case.
wow... Jess and Josh are so lucky to be able to experience all of this Shel! And I'm sure it's fun for you and Jacob too!! Louisiana looks like it has been fun! Love you all!!
