Tuesday, play day

On Tuesday, we had hopes of going to the zoo with friends, but they had an ill child.

Left with a free day, the girls worked together to hitch up carriages to their Zhu Zhu pets. Violet used a pumpkin carriage, with her Ikea stuffed animal rat inside.

Cora used a different carriage for Owletta, who is her "favorite animal of the week." She tied two pets together to get enough pull-power, since Owletta is heavier. She also has made a Lego wagon for Owletta, which she pulls around on a yarn string.

Later on Tuesday, after some housecleaning, we went to Scooter's Jungle with Toni, Chris and David. The kids had a great time, running around for two hours, until they were tired and sweaty. Violet was asleep within minutes after we got in the car.
