Would Zoo be my Valeintine?

We had a wonderful Valentines Day.  I took the girls to ballet and then had a girls brunch date with donuts and hot chocolate.  Yummy

Then we met up with Papa and Everett at the zoo and ended up spending the entire day playing at the zoo.  Grace even picked me flowers.

The plan was to put the kids to bed early and have a couples stay at home date, but Grace fell asleep on the way home from the zoo and wanted to party late into the night with us.  James had to work the next morning so we said good night and eventually Grace fell asleep too.  

James and I celebrate our love everyday so it was extra fun to celebrate Valentines day as a family.

 We spent a good hour at the playground.  Spinning and sliding

 Grace had a little ritual she did before going down the slide it went like this
Grace: "Papa, say 'Anna are you going to go down the slide first'."
Papa; "Anna are you going to go down the slide head first?"
Grace "Yes Papa"
Then she would jump on the slide and go down head first.  She had quite the following with her trend sliding slide moves.

Everett had so much fun we wore him out

Gwenevere met a new friend who she liked to call "Cat kid"  but who's real name was Bella

Grace was all about spinning in every form she could get
