This weekend was made up of a lot of Tim and the girls playing. He watched the girls all-day, and evening on Saturday and the whole family went to the National Zoo on Sunday. Tim has a nasty cold, so he slept in while the rest of us went to church.
Saturday warmed up nicely, but Lauren and Tim set up a Lego fire station. Lauren was fascinated and more excited than a five-year-old on Christmas morning. Tim set up several scenarios and soon all the doll-houses were on fire and in need of rescue. The man named Firestarter was the cause of all this, but he became good in jail and is now one of Lauren's best friends. Of course the police got involved and were able to use Lauren's rope.
At the zoo we were able to let Lauren and Ellie run wild on the soft play area where they fought for a chance to grab a mushroom or climb in the Olive. When 14-year-olds showed up, we moved on to see the prairie dogs (ellie's favorite) and then onto the lions, tigers, and finally the apes.
We were able to see a friendly bear on the way out and came home so Chrissy could take a run. Tonight, Chrissy has sonship. Tim is going to use his bit of free time to go rock climbing and get ready for his trip to San Diego.

Mombo is so impressed with Tim's firehouse. I think I will call Mrs. Magnuson and have her come to the house and see it. It's been a while since she was here to see your Lego Mars presentation. You were in 2nd grade.
Captain Tim leaves for San Diego tomorrow and then gets ready for his position in the Youth Senate activities--where he gets to hobnob with those making history. Such a full and exciting life. Living with three beautiful, fun-loving females just ices the cake, huh, my precious son.:)
