Surprise!

Saturday was a fantastic day. I told the boys the night before there would be a surprise in the morning. When they woke up, I told them we were going on an adventure. They ate quickly and got dressed. We hopped in the van and headed out. Twenty minutes into the ride, Colin asked if we were headed to the interstate. Once on 90 headed north, he figured out we were probably going to Madison. Ethan fell asleep, but by the time we turned onto Regent, Colin had determined we were going to the zoo... and he was right! We picked up Dee Dee on the way and spent a glorious morning wandering around. Spring was in the air despite the cool temperatures. After our trip to the zoo, we went to Target so the boys could spend some of their own "spend" money. Colin got a new game for the Wii (a used one--who knew Game Stop even existed!?), and Ethan finally got some Littlest Pet Shop toys he's been craving. Yes, Ethan adores Littlest Pet Shop now. We came home after lunch at Dee Dee's apartment and arrived just in time to have dinner with Mike once he was home from work.
