I looked out the window this morning as we were all in our pajamas eating breakfast, and thought what could we do instead of going to the zoo? Lucas asked what instead meant. So I told him and he said "we could ride our bikes with no clothes on." Now I know this may sound fun to anyone under the age of 3-BUT-to me, I can only imagine what my neighbors would say as they were taking their kids to school and all 3 of us were outside riding bikes naked! In fact, I don't think I would really want to know what my neighbors would say if they saw me naked! Hahaha! When I told Lucas NO, there would be no naked bike riding, he said "Why cant you just try to be nice, Mom?" I said well instead of riding naked we could ride with our swimsuits on and play in the sprinklers. Bridget ran upstairs and grabbed her bathing suit (we just got it a few weeks ago) So that is what we did...
Then I told them to come inside for lunch and Lucas said "how about instead we eat outside" I said great idea. Then I said it was time for nap and Lucas said "how about instead we do not nap" I said nice try. He stuck out his bottom lip and I said after nap we can go back outside and play. This made him pretty happy. So we did. On our way inside the kids discovered something...
FOOTPRINTS
So we talked about them for a while and then they saw this funny bug...
ROLY POLYies!!! They thought they were so cool.
We then counted all of the bugs on the way into the house.
After nap Lucas wanted a tub like Keegan's so I filled up a cooler so they could play in that.
When it was time to come inside and get ready for Daddy to come home
He said "how about instead we go to California"
I said what about Daddy?
He said "Grandpa Horn is not Daddy's Grandpa instead he can go to Grandpa Witte's"
I said Grandpa Witte is Daddy's Daddy.
He said "instead, I am tired of instead, I want to go inside and wait for my Daddy"
I said okay.
So that was our fun day instead of the zoo!

Well you didn't ask me, 'cause that is where we were today!
You should of asked me, cause then you and your kids would of been free!! We have a Zoo pass, and you can go with us whenever.
Awww Maan! (as Lucas would say) I wish I were there because not only would I have gone with you, but I would have had a lot of fun! I miss my nephew and neices, and I know they miss their FAVORITE Auntie too. Well I guess there is always the next time we see each other.(Cali or Denver)
Umm just so we know to give credit where its due, I Auntie Steph published that comment.
That looks like a fun time INSTEAD of the zoo. I love that the weather is getting warm because playing outside ROCKS!
Too cute!!!
looks like fun. Too bad it's going to be cold and rainy today. I am SO ready for summer.
You didn't ask me either and we were also at the zoo today with Katina. You obviously did not call around enough!
What a super fun day, I LOVE the pics! Makes me want to play outside in the sprinkler too.
