Great Weekend

We had such a great weekend with our friends!  The weather has been perfect, and so Saturday we kept all the kids outside until dinner time.  This led to costumed play outside like this:

Lydia had so much fun following around a "big girl" friend.

Lightsaber battles are generally fun for everyone.

And, as promised, I took some pictures of the wood floors:

It is amazing how much bigger it makes the living room look.  I couldn't be happier with our floors.  We still have the rest of the kitchen and our bedroom, but the amount of work we've gotten done is very satisfactory.

Lastly, we headed to the zoo today for lots of family fun:

We had already told the kids that we'd take them to the zoo, and they were looking forward to it.  Honestly, we could have skipped the zoo trip.  The kids were doing so well playing together that leaving the house really wouldn't have been necessary.  But the weather was great, and we all enjoyed the zoo.  We moms kept a running head count, because there happened to be a big company picnic at the zoo, so it was more crowded than expected, but it did go very smoothly.  I think everyone in both families had a great weekend. All of the kids are looking forward to seeing each other again on the family camping trip in October!
