Tigers!

Super last minute, I dragged my friends to the Arboretum for the fun and free children's activities on Mondays.

Colin was SOOOO excited to get his face painted! He talked about it the whole way there and couldn't relax until he had his tiger face on!

These artists are so great and very fast! Reagan just got a heart on her arm, but Colin did great!

Both Isaac and Colin wanted to be tigers so we had tiger-Colin and Shere-Khan Isaac!

They both had fun growling at each other and all the little ond ladies who passed by!

(In a quivering, sweet little old lady voice) "What a cute tiger!" 

ROAR!!!!!!

(Colin is very committed to his roaring and uses his entire body to get the full effect!)

After being a tiger on Monday, Colin wanted to go to the zoo and see "the tigers and the dinosaurs" (I think he has the zoo and museum mixed up!) so I asked Desirae if she could take us sometime with her pass!

And off to the zoo we went with 6 kids and 2 adults! We all squeezed in her minivan (hello, musical car seats!) and had a great time!

This lion roars when you put money down his throat...Colin was a little worried!

Desirae had some extra carousel tickets and Colin could not stop talking about the "animal merry go round." He wanted to ride that zebra all day!

On the other hand, Reagan did not!

We did all the fun extra things! I couldn't say no when Colin asked to try the hurricane simulator!

Then I even let them get soaking wet in the river in the children's zoo area (because I am and awesome mom and they loved it! Of course, Reagan was drinking the water, Colin kept getting in the water after I got him in dry clothes (thankfully I had his spare outfit with us!) and between the humidity, the water, the tantrums, my patience was GONE by the time we left!

But they look so happy :)

And this is how we left! Ah the tantrums!

I love motherhood!
