Family Fun Day!

When we woke up for the second Sunday in a row with sick kiddos still, we decided we HAD to get out of the house and get some fresh air. After each taking a turn to go to church, we headed out right after lunch and headed to Montgomery for some family fun! Hard to say who was more excited...mommy or the twins!? Tough going so long without seeing any friends or leaving these four walls so this was just what we needed as a family! As we were loading the car, we decided this would be a good time to move Ashton Kate into her new big girl car seat! Milestones like this are a little bittersweet as they mean she is growing up! But also serve as a reminder of God's continued mercy and grace in her growth and development.

Not sure she's a fan just yet, but it'll do. Off we go to the Montgomery Zoo! You can't pass germs outside, right!?

This was our first trip to the Montgomery Zoo with our entire family. Mommy has taken the girls quite a few times and daddy even ventured there once by himself, but it sure was fun to all be together this trip! It was overcast, perfect temperature, and hardly a soul there. Perfect for this bunch!

This zoo is perfect for little ones as the exhibits are smaller and the animals are usually much closer up for viewing. They are always moving and active when we've been there which makes it a million times more exciting for the girls! This guy in particular was quite entertaining this trip around..

And this sweet girl enjoyed having an extra set of hands which allowed her to get out of the stroller or ergo and see the animals too! She LOVES animals so it was so fun seeing her squeal with delight and her legs start rapidly swinging with excitement!

And of course no zoo trip is complete without a ride on the train...never gets old and is a nice little break for mom and dad too!

And since we said this was family fun day, the fun didn't stop after we left the zoo. We re-introduced the girls to the sheer deliciousness of Krispy Kreme! And boy did they love it! Down to the last sprinkle..=)

Lastly, after spoiling their dinner with a donut, we headed to Applebee's to use a gift card we had held onto forever! Perfect time to use it! The girls all did great and we enjoyed one last "activity" as the girls say before we headed home!

What a wonderful afternoon we had as a family! A treat indeed and we know we surely will cherish these memories in the years to come!
