Zoo, Sun, Soccer, etc.!

Last Friday we went to the zoo for the first time this year! And Carter's first time ever! We renewed our membership and I have a feeling it will get very well used this year! 

Leah and Gracie

Saturday was such a full day and the first really warm day.  We started out with Leah's soccer class. She liked it much better than the first class which was cold and rainy. She did a great job (with some of Daddy's encouragement and guidance :-)

Soccer Dads!

Go Leah Go!  I didn't get a good pic but at the end of the class she kicked the ball into the goal!

Officially Soccer Moms now! :-)

 After soccer we went to the playground with our friends.

 Soccer is at a beautiful park on a small lake. We had fun walking around after playtime.

Carter really enjoyed the scenery, ha!

After the park, we went to eat lunch at Red Robin which has the nicest patio! We love going there on nice days! I can't believe Carter is old enough to be sitting in high chairs already!!

Then we made a quick trip to the farmers market where my father in law has a booth set up.
After a walk around and a trip to Trader Joe's, we headed home. It was already well past nap time so we chose to forgo it that day. Even though Leah still needs naps most days, it is kind of nice now that she isn't a complete mess if we skip it. That will come in handy this summer for day trips and for our San Diego trip coming up!! 
We played in the backyard and I set up a huge piece of paper and let Leah go nuts with some finger paint :-)

Mmmmm Mommy's homemade popsicles are yummy :-) (So easy and healthier than store bought! I just blended up frozen blueberries, strawberries, pineapple and added apple juice and a bit of agave! Then pour in molds and freeze!)

Since the kids were a sticky mess I stuck them both in the tub for a bubble bath before an early bedtime for everyone!! 
Loving the sunshine!
