A Day At The Dallas Zoo

   Today we went to the Dallas Zoo with Omi to try and get the kids energy out before our long flight to Germany tomorrow. It also helped that it was a gorgeous, sunny day outside and we were able to get some much needed fresh air and Vitamin D.

Connor's Fourth Birthday

   On Sunday my sweet boy turned FOUR! It's so, so crazy how fast he has grown. Because we move in three weeks, we chose to skip the big birthday party and do something small. We went to the zoo with our good friends, drove through a safari park, ate burgers and shakes at Steak 'n Shake, and then walked around Verona. When we got home Connor played with his new toys and then we sang Happy Birthday. He had the biggest smile on his face the entire day because he knew it was his special day. Here are a bunch of pics I took through out the day...

Parco Natura Viva

     When we woke up this morning I told Aaron I wanted to do something, but wasn't really sure what. All I knew was that it had to be fun for Connor.  After searching online, I found Parco Natura Viva. A zoo and safari park about an hour away. Aaron was up for it, so after Connor woke up from his morning nap, were on our way to Bussolengo (Verona) Italy. It was only an hour away from our house, so not too far. I packed us a lunch so we could save a little money, and I am so happy I did. Connor ate his peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the way (which he loved!), and we ate ours while we were walking at the zoo. We were surprised they let us take them in, but a lot of other people seemed to have the same idea as us.

 First peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He ate it so fast!
