a fun filled saturday

we headed out in the morning after breakfast 

the kids thought it was so cool we drove on lake hazel drive most of the way there

i made hazel take a picture in front of lake hazel elementary

 then we went to birds of prey

we'd never been but noah had been dying to ever since we moved here

kids were free on saturday and the weather was great so it was a good day to try it out

i was surprised how small it was but the kids (especially noah) thought it was cool

 when we left it was time for lunch so we headed downtown to guido's 

it's so good!

 i love that it looks like i was going to eat all of it and not share with my hungry kiddies

the kids wanted to walk to the capital after pizza so we did

there were a bunch of old cars parked right in front so that was cool

 i love the way eleanor is hugging olive and henry is saying cheese

 in the elevator in the capital

 on our walk back to the car we stopped for doughnuts at guru's

 then we ran some errands

and on our way home from our neighbor's michael let eleanor drive the car home

they were both pretty happy about it

 saturday night we watched the lion king

if the kids have ever seen it, it was long ago enough they didn't remember it

they liked it but thought it was sad

i told them it was the first movie that made me cry when i was little

 ps: i love us all crammed on our couch

michael eventually moved to the little rocking chair

we made need something bigger soon because a three person couch doesn't really cut it
