Fun Videos From Our Christmas Trip

Enjoy the following videos from our Christmas trip to Texas.

Holy Toledo, Batman!

 We have been looking for a holiday break to visit our fabulous friends that moved to Toledo last June.  President's Day weekend finally happened - and no one was sick!  We left right after church on Sunday and got to the Castle's just in time to play before dinner.
 The kids had a great time playing with their friends.  Mitchell loved having new spaces to explore and a little friend to bend down and smile at.  Monday we went to the Toledo Zoo and LOVED watching all the active winter animals!  There was a new giraffe that kept coming up to the window and licking it...
We brought suckers to keep kids occupied in case we happened to be there for 6 hours and went way over lunch time...  It turned out to be VERY cold that day - thankfully I had Mitchell's bear outfit in the trunk leftover from Groundhog Day!
Loved this cutie - monkeys, gorillas, orangatangs - they are all my favorites!
Happy day at the zoo - except for Emily....  I can't remember why she didn't want to be in the picture!  Although, we did get some crazy looks: 2 moms and EIGHT kids?!?  Fun, fun time; can't wait to come and visit again!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

 Since Andy has late classes on Tuesdays, I signed us up for chocolate dipping at the local library so the kids and I could still celebrate!  We had some potato soup for dinner and headed downtown!  We had a great time dipping all kinds of treats into both milk and white chocolates!
