Fun Weekend

We had a fun weekend as a family this weekend, the kids are getting so big and so cute together! Early Saturday morning Rick did another triathalon with some of the guys from church. Here's him on his bike when I drove up alongside him in the car (this was at 7:30 a.m. we missed the swim part due to the fact that we were still sleeping)

And then off for the run.....Me and the kids hungout at the park while Rick did the bike and run part, we were all kinda tired....
The big finish, what a stud:) And no, this was not after the pool, Rick really did soak through his shirt with sweat.....(it was hot outside in his defense)
And then of course, no Saturday is complete without watching some football! Carson watched a good 30 minutes of the Miami Hurricanes game with us and was so excited about it! Everytime it went to commercial he would say "where did the football go?"
This was the two of them when the Hurricanes scored a touchdown.....we won't talk about the outcome of the game though..
Friday we decided to take the kids to Flamingo Gardens, a little place by our house with all kinds of wildlife and stuff. It was soo fun! Both kids loved it!
We brought our own food and had a little picnic "nicnic" as Carson says. The only problem was that we forgot the picnic blanket, so we had a picnic at the picnic table, right under the huge sign that said "no outside food permitted". Oops. This was as good as the pictures got of the three of them, just moments before a peacock walked right up to Brynnli in the stroller...
Carson and I had fun feeding the flamingos LOTS of food, according to Carson they were very hungry. We watched a little show where we got to see owls, a snake, and some vultures, Carson sat there the whole time!I wish you could really have seen how huge this lizzard or whatever was. This was as close as I was willing to get since apparently they can whip you with their tail...

And yes, the highlight of the day, I got pooped on by a bird, it was so gross! Rick and I knew it was coming when we were in the aviary, we were running through as fast as we could, but I was the lucky winner!!!


Just a few other random pics from this week.....

How cute are they? This is one of their favorite things to do together right now (going through the drive through at McD's)

And Brynnli started CRAWLING!!! I held her off as long as I could.... now all she wants to do is stand up! What happened to my little baby?
I put her in her highchair with some sweet potatoes, which she succeeded in getting everywhere except her mouth, but she had so much fun I didn't care!

What a fun weekend!
