Just the Three of Us

 

September 25th arrived and I was officially 40 weeks pregnant.  The girls only had a half day of school so I decided to have one last outing - just the three of us.  We decided to go to the zoo.  The added benefit was that the extra walking might make me go into labor!  No such luck.

In addition to taking pictures with every statue they saw, we got to see the new tiger cubs and see Mama Tiger do some tricks!

We saw lots of other cool animal things,too.  I can't remember what they were, though.  My pregnancy brain must have blocked them out and I didn't have any pictures to remind me.  This was probably one of our best zoo trips yet.  Maybe it was just because it is my last fun memory of being a mom of two.

State Fair 2013

I've mentioned before how much I love the fair.  L.O.V.E., love it.  This was the first year since my family moved to Hutchinson (I was in third grade) that I missed it.  It was in the beginning of September and I was miserably pregnant.  The high temperature for the day was 101 degrees.  I felt like it was in my best interest to stay home.  The week preceding it I was really sad.  Weepy sad.  I guess it was probably the hormones.  The day of it, though, I wasn't that sad.  I knew I had made the right choice to stay home.

Will took the girls and met up with my family.  He said it was a little overwhelming without me there.  This was the first year without a wagon or stroller and the girls had free-will to express when they wanted to stop and look at things.  He said it was hard keeping track of them and carrying all the stuff by himself.  He'll be glad to have me along next year.  He took some great pictures I wanted to share. 

Boy, does this man know me.  Who else would take a picture of the winning pumpkin size?

I may just have to go twice next year.
