This past week Jeff was on vacation so we decided to take a stay-cation. I looked on the internet at different things here in Amarillo that we don’t normally do. I found prices and times and made a list of activities that I thought the kids as well as us would enjoy.
On Monday we went to Thompson park and had a picnic. After our picnic we went to the zoo. Both of the kids really seemed to enjoy themselves. At each and every stop Cade would say, “I see an animal. Let’s go find another animal.” About half way through he told me he could hear an elephant. However, there are no elephants there. After we left the zoo and was headed home I ask the kids what their favorite animal was. Cade said, “The zebra,” there wasn’t one, haha. And Caylee said, “I sleepy” with a big grin on her face. That night they had an ice cream M&M picnic and watched ABC animals in the living room.
On Tues. we got up and went to the botanical garden. It is small and not way exciting but we were able to talk to the kids about all the different colors and shapes. They loved being outside and walking through “the jungle” as Cade calls it. That afternoon we went to the Discovery Center. There were a million hands on act. For the kids. They had different act. With ping pong balls, blocks, legos, and bubbles. They had a place to learn how to rope. They had cowboy outfits and mirrors. They also had a performance stage and lots of instruments the kids could play. We will def. be getting a membership there for cold snowy days or days that it is too hot to go outside.
On Wed. we rested and then went to church that night. Then on Thurs. we took the kids to the WT football game. They have never been to a game so I packed books, stickers, and snacks to keep them occupied. On the way to Canyon Cade raised his arms and shouted, “Cade is so excited.” When we pulled up to the stadium he said, “Look it’s the football cow.” Haha! Once we were in we took them over to see the buffalo and then found our seats. They loved sitting behind the band and put on quite a dance show for the fans in our area. They clapped and cheered. And at the end of the game Cade cried all the way to the car. He begged to stay.
Friday and Sat. we spent our time in Borger celebrating birthdays. And what better way to end a special week than to spend time with Grandma and Papa. Lots of wonderful memories with my sweet babies. (I will upload an album of pictures on fb for those of you interested.)
