Lions and Tigers...and a Mermaid???

  People sometimes ask us what our favorite age of the twins has been.  I like to answer the way our good friend Chris does, "Their current age is our favorite age!"  We are having SUCH a fantastic time with these two little crazy people.

 This weekend was jam packed with FUN FUN FUN.  First up, we saw Nazareth's production of "The Little Mermaid".  The night was made super special because it was GIRLS ONLY going to see the show and then "DUDES ONLY" (Mike's words, not mine) to hang out and watch football.  Much fun was had by all!

Sebastian and Prince Phillip!

Ariel!

Next up, my good friend from college, Erin, ran in the Philly Marathon today.  I knew I wanted to make the trip down to cheer her on because I think it's amazing that she was doing a marathon.  Plus I know how much motivation I get from perfect strangers cheering for me during my races, so I wanted to help her out with this challenge at least a little bit.

"Where is she??"

"We're ready for you!:
Yeah!!!!

I hate my eyelids!!!!

Giving her some Skittles!

 After catching Erin running by, we headed over to the Philly Zoo.  We continue to LOVE the family membership our friends got the twins for a birthday present.  The zoo is SO MUCH FUN during the fall.  There is hardly anyone there and the animals are so active.  It was a super day!

Baby chicks!!  Cameron loved hearing them "peep"!

Cool view of an ant farm....but Allie preferred to be called an astronaut!


"Blast off!"

Cameron says, "Hey -- can I come to space too?"
"Oh, wait...there are ants in here!"



Just look at that precious face!

They would have stayed here all day if we let them!



Not sure why Cameron wanted his leg up for this picture....

 Off to the big cats....
Close encounter...

Allie says, "Get me out of here!"
Feeling a little bit braver....


"Hey -- are you awake??"



Allie and Cameron wanted to ride the warthog home...



Sorry I cut Allie's face off!!  I was trying to get the otters in the picture too!


  Finally, just some random pictures to show the daily shananigans in the life of a twinja.

Cameron was in the basement by himself for about 20 minutes working on a really hard puzzle....
....and he got it together!
Both twins enjoyed helping me sew today -- they were actually really good helpers!

And finally, we had a beautiful sunset.  We all think it was a hello from Grandma Stanton -- since her favorite color was pink!
