The weekend started Friday evening with a zoo picnic held in appreciation of the volunteers so I headed up to that after work - it would have been more fun to be there with David and Indigo, but 
although spouses are invited, wee ones are not. It was nice to hang out with some fellow volunteers and talk zoo and conservation. I also had a zoo shift on the weekend. On the Saturday afternoon and evening we had a total blast when we got to babysit Sarah while Rick & Ellen had a night out. It was so fun. We took the girls down to the lake where they ate some rocket popsicles and then had a lot of fun swimming. We had dinner together, lots of playing, dancing to our favorite "Jambo", baths and pjs. One of the funniest things of the night was when there was a bit of a spill and David bought up some of cleaning rags - which all happen to be old or stained t-shirts. Well, one of the t-shirts did not get used to clean up the spill and Sarah took a liking to it and wanted to wear it - fashion maven that she is. Well, it's a t-shirt that had the word DEMOCRAT on the front - we had to take a photo of that for her parents. By the time Rick and Ellen arrived, Sarah was now bathed and in her jammies but when we told them the story she wanted to wear the shirt again. So, much to Rick's chagrin, Sarah wore the shirt home - we thought it was hilarious. After that, every time Ellen tried to wash and return the shirt to us, Sarah would want to wear it - such a cutie pie.

On Sunday we had a really fun birthday party for our friend's son David. It was all Diego themed and our friend Becky did an amazing job. The kids got to decorate little vests made with brown paper bags with Diego themed and animal stickers. Indigo loved it. Also, they had some exotic animals come for a demonstration at the party and so we got to see a snake, a box tortoise, a hedgehog which was too adorable, a parrot, and a Madagascar hissing roach. You can see the birthday boy in his green Diego shirt sitting with his big brother and watching the animal critters. It was a really fun party and we all had a super time.
