Today we took the boys to the Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town. We started out the day at Fairytale Town where the boys got to see a lot of farm animals up close and personal (they both really liked the donkey and the bunnies), and where Sawyer got to run around the Crooked Mile and go down a couple of the slides that I remember being there when I was much younger. It was funny to be there for the first time as "Mom"...I could definitely feel myself chanelling my own Mother every time I started to freak out when Mitch let Sawyer climb up these huge slides all by himself - eeeek! I guess I should be glad he didn't inherit my fear of heights, but it certainly made my stomach drop and my heart race every time I'd see him near the edge high above my head! We finished up at Fairytale Town playing in the pirate ship and some of the newer areas that I hadn't seen before (like the big playground in Sherwood Forest - I remember when that area was the most boring part of the whole place!). Then we headed over to the zoo where we ate lunch and watched the giraffes, tigers and monkeys for awhile before Sutton finally hit his limit and we decided to call it a day.
Unfortunately, Sutton and I have both been fighting nasty allergies these past few days, so neither one of us was really too much fun today. The parks were lovely, but there were just so many different plants and flowers in bloom that it seemed to make us both feel worse by the time we came home. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's really just allergies for us both...it's starting to feel more and more like a funky cold :(
On another note (for those of you who might be wondering!), today is Jessica's official due date, and there's still no sign that my new niece, Stella, will be born any time soon. Poor Jess. I remember being SO ready to have these boys, and I never even made it to within a week of my due date with either of them!
