Field Trip & Cast

Friday was a full day. I went on a field trip with Libby to the zoo, but Ellie also had an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. Brian had planned to stay home with the girls while I was on the field trip, but now he got doctor duty! The appointment went really well though and she got her pink cast. Brian said the casting was really easy and fast. Ellie has done really well with her cast except she doesn't like people to look at it. She tries to hide it behind her back or with her sleeve.

My field trip with Libby was a lot of fun. The weather was PERFECT! Couldn't have been better. In my group I just had Libby and one little boy from her class. He was cute little kid. Walking around the zoo was fun and seeing their reaction to things made me laugh. Libby takes after me and didn't pet the sting rays. And at the petting zoo, she stayed in between the two gates and never actually went in!

She did feed the giraffes though, being careful not to actually touch their long tongues.



When we got back to the school, I took Eliza and Libby out of school early. Brian had to see a client up in Cottonwood so we went along for the ride. After his appointment we went to Bing's Burger Station for dinner. It was a cute little Burger shop. The food was yum! We had burger and fries and finished off the night with shakes.

Before we left for Cottonwood, Hattie had her birthday sleepover with my parents. Her b-day is this Saturday, but this weekend worked out better to have her sleepover. She had been so excited about it and has talked about it forever. Whenever we would be out and about, she would say, "I want that for my birthday." That afternoon they went shopping and she picked out dress up clothes--a dream for her! She got a new Cinderella dress, shoes, crown and a Cinderella Barbie. She has worn the outfit more than she hasn't since she got it. Basically she only changes to eat or go on an errand. She even has slept in it. And she wore the shoes to church (I forgot to have her change) and to the store. When night time came, she wanted to be home, so my parents brought her home to sleep. She was so excited, it seemed, to show off her treasures with her sisters!
