Lots of fun

This morning we headed off to the zoo first thing. We got there shortly after they opened at 9 and I'm glad we did. We were able to spend about an hour and a half looking around before meeting up with my friends. Ian got to see penguins, impalas, lions, cheetahs, jaguars, and lots of geese and ducks.

Around 10:30 we headed out to meet our friends, but by this point it was raining fairly hard. So we decided to go out to a place called Monkey Joe's instead.

That turned out to be an awesome plan. Monkey Joe's is an indoor place filled with all sorts of inflatable bounce houses, obstacle courses, and big slides. Ian LOVED it! He was climbing, bouncing, diving, jumping, and laughing like crazy. I think it may have been his favorite thing we have ever done. He was smiling and laughing constantly until he just was too tired to climb anything anymore. Needless to say, he is now enjoying a nice long nap.

It was a shame not to be able to visit with my friends as much, since all of our kids were running everywhere, but I still got to chat with them here and there and it was worth it since Ian had such an awesome time.

After the first time, he wanted to go on the slides by himself, he just needed help getting to the top.

And here are some pictures from the museum yesterday. One of Ian's favorite things was making change at the cash register:
