Zoo Zoo Zoo

We went to the zoo with our friends aka Kim and Ben while they were visiting, and Rob was able to go with us as well. It is difficult not to have fun while visiting our zoo or seeing something new and exciting. Rob was able to experience the zoofari with the kids.

The jungle is always a huge hit for our family.

Kim also blogged a few other things from the weekend as well. The kids playing, building, and laughing. It was a great visit!

Ollie the Trolley

Oh, the joys of a silent auction. It is always fun to go to a fund raiser and bid on something you would never consider doing until you think you are getting a deal. A husband of a friend of mine always tells his deal seeking wife that they are going to go broke saving money. I found that hysterical. It fits perfectly for anything you bid on in a silent auction.

Last year Rob and I went to Rockin Rosie where I bid on a trolley tour called Millionaires and Mansions. I won the tour at a steal of a deal and few of my neighbors decided to go in on it with me. I think they wanted to make sure I invited them. We invited people from our hood and then drove around other hoods with a cocktail in hand. It was a beautiful night and lots of fun seeing areas of Omaha. My friend Kim and her family were up visiting for the weekend so they joined us for our tour as well.

Invasion of the Chaplin's

While we were in KC, we stayed with my friend Kim. It was nice being able to catch up with her in my few free wedding moments, and the kids had a great time. She was gracious enough to take on our 3 children so Rob could attend all the wedding festives with me! I owe her big time now. I finally agreed to stay with her if she agreed on bringing in some help. I did my part in staying, but she didn't bring in help! Ben and Kim deserve big gold stars for helping us out!

Other than another front tooth hitting accident that happened right in front of me again, the weekend went off without a hitch. I will have to elaborate more on the tooth later, but Mason is more than likely going to lose a top front tooth before the front bottoms. I better get busy making or finding him a tooth fairy pillow!
