Sleepovers and a trip to the zoo






Lia, Laura and Josh LOVE getting their sleeping bags out and setting them up in the family room. Sometimes they stay for the night, other times just until the popcorn in gone and the movie is over. It reminds me of a similar picture I have with my brother and sisters when we were little. The kids also love going to the zoo. We went a few weeks ago and I've decided the best time to go is in the winter--if it's not freezing. The train wasn't running, which Josh was disappointed by, but it wasn't crowded and it wasn't hot. Josh's favorite animals are the monkeys and the elephants. I'm pretty certain Josh has an imaginary friend who's a monkey and who likes to ride in Lia's seat in the van. I hope it is an imaginary friend. Lia had three imaginary friends at this age--Heber, Haber and Hiber. We were all kind of sad when they went away. I'm glad to see my kids are more creative than I was at their age. I like the zoo and all, but short of going out to dinner, one of my favorite things to do is stay home and watch a movie with the kids in their sleeping bags.

What darling children! I love the zoo too. Our first grade gets to go every Spring. I love to see all of the new additions each year. I had forgotten about Lia's friends the 'H' triplets, I laughed right out loud. Nate had quite a crew of imaginary friends too.
Lots of Love, Aunt Lulu
