Thanksgiving party/Zoo Trip

Caleb had his Thanksgiving party at school this week.

They served us a full turkey dinner, it was very thoughtful and fun too. Caleb was very excited that Lexie was able to come to his dinner as well.

He was going around introducing Lexie to all his classmates. "This is Baby Lexie my sister." Most already knew all about her. Apparently he talks about her often. It was nice that we all were able to attend this year since Caleb was so proud to show off his family to all his friends.

Today we went to the Zoo with our neighbors/good friends.The kids had a good time looking at all the animals. We even got to catch the lion roaring again this time. The weather was wonderful and fall foliage beautiful. It was a good day to make this trip.The kids seemed to have the most fun in the Reptile exhibit, with all the scary snakes and lizards.

Lexie and Ivy even enjoyed the big snakes, and the aquarium with an assortment of fish and other reptiles. The boys got to pet a snake, not my idea of fun.

We even stopped in to feed the birds for a while. Lexie really enjoyed having the birds so close. Though she chased a few away trying to touch them. Caleb was actually patient enough to hold the stick still so the birds stayed to eat.

After the Zoo, we headed over for a train ride.Unfortunately by the time the train arrived Lexie was ready for a bottle and nap, so she did not make that a very pleasant experience for us. Caleb seemed to enjoy it with Ace and Dax though. We were all ready to collapse by the time we made it home.
