It's the Little Things # 1

Hi Friends! I'm so excited to link up with Ashley over at Words About Waverly for my first ever "It's the Little Things" post. This is such a great idea for us moms who just want to take a step back and appreciate all the wonderful experiences motherhood allows us to have with our little ones.

This past week my boys were spoiled with not one animal feeding encounter, but two! On Friday, my mom and I took the boys to the Santa Ana Zoo. We were a little disappointed by the animal selection - there were tons and tons of monkeys & a bald eagle, but that was about it for the "wild" animals. Then we rode the train & carousel, and then all the fun began---- we went to visit the farm animals and fed the goats! Mason and Owen were both just loving life feeding those goats. They seriously came alive. Every time they ran out of food, Owen would say, "more, more, more" and learned to walk over to the food dispenser! Mason would ask my mom, "you have more money?" It was the cutest thing ever. And then every time a goat would grab a piece of food from their little hands, they squealed and laughed..... Music to my ears! Here are some pictures from our day at the zoo.

On Sunday, we went to Zoomars for a friend's 4th birthday party. It was such a great spot for a party. There were pony rides, playgrounds, goats and guinea pigs to feed, and let's not forget Mason's favorite, train rides!!! Both of my boys were brave enough to do the pony rides and Owen was a little "too cool" for pictures (see below). There was also a corn-box. Like a sandbox but with corn. I want one in my backyard..... it kept the kids entertained for a long time! It is always so much fun to see my boys interact and play with other kids. Here are some pictures from Zoomars. Happy Birthday Devyn!!

With each adventure with my boys, I learn new things. From the zoo and party we went to, I learned that Owen LOVES animals, and Mason is more into the trains & tractors! I love my boys!
