Jam Packed Weekend

We had a weekend filled with FUN last weekend! To get the weekend started, the boys and I headed to the zoo Friday morning. We had not been in about a month and the boys were getting antsy! We love our zoo!

 

This time, Hudson begged and begged to feed the lorikeets. We had avoided it until now because I knew what would happen when a lorikeet landed on my child (total freak out!), but of course, he had to experience it himself. And, he came through with that total freak out we were expecting! :)

That was the quickest waste of money ever because the second the first bird landed on his shoulder, he threw that cup up in the air so fast! Thankfully, they gave us another one and while Hudson stood just outside the exhibit, Harrison had a blast watching all the birds land on me and eat! He didn't so much want them on him, but he loved how close he was. Overall, we had a good morning at the zoo!

After a nap for Harrison, we loaded up and headed to the lake. Jordan's 30th birthday was Saturday and he wanted everyone to come celebrate with him at the lake! We got there around 5 and made the most of our 24 hours on the farm! We definitely celebrated Jordan's 30th right!

Friday night, as soon as it got dark, we headed out to the pasture to catch lightning bugs. Unfortunately, we stink at catching lightning bugs...but, we had one happy boy doing it!

The other happy boy FELL ASLEEP on my shoulder while we were walking around in the pasture! That is unheard of and I thoroughly enjoyed carrying around the large sack of potatoes for a while! :) Poor buddy just gets so worn out at daycare.

 

Saturday morning was cold up at the lake! We were not prepared! Fall is definitely on its way. It did warm up some though and we were able to take one last summer boat ride, swim, and of course ride gators and tractors. What more could a boy want!?!?

 We came home Saturday night and put the exhausted kids in bed (they had had no naps at all on Saturday!), and then watched the Auburn game. We are thankful for DVR as we can delay the start of the game until we are ready to watch! And, we make sure we stay off social media so we don't spoil any outcomes! :) We were pleasantly surprised with the outcome of the game although it gave us a small heart attack!

Sunday was church day. You can see how much the boys loved me taking their pictures!

Harrison is just about done with sippies. He sees Hudson drinking out of a cup and he has to do it too! It helps that he only drinks out of cups at school.

 Silly boy!

 Sunday afternoon was Hudson's first soccer game! He really wanted to try soccer again this year. He really did a lot better than he did last year! At least he was running with the swarm of bees this year instead of playing in the grass like last year. That is an improvement! He is still not too interested in getting in the middle of all the kicking, but he's out there running and trying and that's all that matters.

His team name is the Thunder!

 And our course our buddy Haines is on our team. We can't do anything without Haines!

It sure was HOT on Sunday afternoon. The black uniforms didn't help. They got through it though (and we did too!).

Can't wait to spend more Sunday afternoons on the soccer field!
