Stay-cation.

This year, since everything cost so much $$$ and since Em is too small to appreciate...pretty much anything, we decided to have a stay at home vacation....a staycation. So far we've had a great week. It's kind of strange, but relaxing. We kicked off our staycation with our Day Out With Thomas (see post below) and have now added a trip to the Zoo to our list of fun things we've done. Once again, we left Em with a sitter (sooo glad we did) and took Jake to see the animals. We all had a great time. Incidentally, the first Tuesday of every month is community day...1/2 price tickets, so needless to say, the place was packed!




These were a couple of shots that I really loved....
Jake with the Lioness. He knew she was a female because she didn't have the mane. What a smart kid...thanks to Disney's The Lion King, we've got plenty of knowledge on the lions.

Jake was very excited about seeing the elephants. There was a baby that was so cute. We talked about how there was a mommy and a daddy and a little Emily elephant.

So that was our trip to the zoo on our staycation. We've got some more stuff planned like free movies, swimming, The Children's Museum and stuff like that. Stay tuned.

I'm so glad you're enjoying your staycation!!! Looks like Jake is having a blast too! I also hope you're hiding your cell phone so your work stuff stays out of sight, mind and ear!!! ;o) Love ya!
