Marvelous Monkeys

Today Will got to go to his second 2 year old class at the Seneca Park Zoo. Get up-close and personal with a close relative of the monkey to learn just how cool these creatures can be! We had to miss the February Owl Class; it was canceled because of a snow storm. These classes are great opportunities to introduce Will to new animals and new friends! Their goal is to spark an interest in animals with your child and enable your child to feel comfortable around all different types of animals.

After the Monkey Class, we took advantage of the nice weather and walked around the zoo. We ran into some of our friends and Will got to run around with some of the boys.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Today we went to a St. Patrick's Day Play Date. Will got to sport his Shamrock shirt that my good friend Jenn made for him. All the kids had a great time playing with each other and balloons, and they all enjoyed the green themed snacks that were provided by Jenn. It was a great way to celebrate St. Patty's Day!

On Sunday we got to spend a few hours with our friends Julie and Brian and their son Nickolas. They were in town from Syracuse for the weekend, so they came over to hang out and have lunch with us. Will and Nickolas always seem to enjoy each others company. I wish we all got to see each other more often, but we try to make sure and see each other 3-4 times a year.

Papa Party and Airport Tour

Last Sunday we finally were able to celebrate Grandpa Zink's Birthday. We had tried to have a Papa Party 2-3 times prior to this but had to reschedule due to illness. Sunday we met Grandma and Grandpa Zink at Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse for the birthday celebration. We all had a great time!

Happy Birthday To Papa

Today we headed to the airport for a Mom's Club tour. Unfortunately it did not turn out quite as planned. Shortly before we arrived, a US Airways Plane flew through a flock of birds and lost function of one of their engines, requiring them to emergency land. That made security get super backed up, so we never got to go through security with the kids and go on an airplane. We did spend some time at the observation deck, which was enough entertainment for Will. We will have to try to go again sometime so we can get the full tour.

Fun Winter Adventure

Today we decided to do some fun winter activities with Will. We took him over to "Uncle" Matt's and "Aunt" Rebecca's house. We walked from their house to a nearby park that has a good sledding hill. Little did we know how deep the snow really was, so it was a good workout for all of us. Will lucked out by getting to ride the whole way there and back in the sled. We had a lot of fun sledding, and "Aunt" Rebecca brought lots of spoons and tupperware for Will to play in the snow with. She even brought him a sweet treat of frosting, and he enjoyed licking it off his snowballs. We all got to feel like kids again!

The next day we decided to continue our snow adventure in our own front yard. Will enjoyed playing in the snow and eating it, while daddy and I worked on our snowman. We decided to make one large one instead of a snow family this time. We all had a great time, and finished it off with some hot chocolate.
