A productive weekend

Saturday we decided to take a family day and drive over to Cincinnati and check out their zoo. We have a really great zoo here, but wanted to try something different.

It always amazes me how much our old dog Astro looks like a wolf. They are so pretty.

The “Snow Bears” as Cole called them, were probably our faves. They are just so cool.

We all agreed that our zoo blows the Cincy zoo out of the water, but it was fun anyway. After the zoo we hit Ikea and let the boys pick out a few things for their rooms.

Which led to Sunday- the day of total house clean-up and transformation. Everyone got on board. Well except Cole, he just stayed out of the way. The older boys got their rooms super clean and moved some stuff around. Andy and I cleaned and then tackled the project of our extra bedroom. It needed to have patches in the wall repaired and then a good coat of paint. Pictures soon. It is still in process, but hopefully will not be empty for long 🙂

    We went to the Los Angeles zoo soon after we moved to CA and the Columbus zoo is even better than LA!

    Where do you live? I am in north Florida but we are moving to northern KY this year. My husband will be working in downtown Cinn. Would love to have a ‘friend’ before I even get up there:)
